Dear Maintainer,

yesterday, july 5th 2023, I updated my Debian Sid installation. Among others, the package plasma-workspace
was updated from version 4:5.27.5-2 to version 4:5.27.5-2+b1. Today it is impossible to work with Plasma
because all the RAM memory (plus part of the swap) is occupied. In my case I have 16 GB and I can see that
the process called /usr/bin/plasmashell is running 82.5% of the total memory used. I uninstalled all Plasma
packages related with Wayland in order to ensure that X11 is used, but the problem persists.

If I use other window manager, as for example now IceWM, all works without problem. Also, I can use Plasma
applications like Kate and no problems with memory exist.
