Suse Linux 10.0 Memory leaks

Earlier last month I wasraving about how great suse 10.0 was, how easy to install, the great driver support (better than windows on initial installation), etc.
Now that I've used it for over a month, I have the following criticism.

Too many of the applications are leaking far too much memory!!!
When I get some time, I'll have to dig in further, I've noticed a number of forum postings related to some component that the bleeding apps seem to be depending on that may be the culprit.
So far the following applications are leaking hundreds of MB's of memory over hours ,not days:
Amarok (by far the worst leaker, it can consume 500MB in mere hours!)
Gaim, not as bad, but after a couple days gets excessive.
Konqueror, after a few days leaks a hundred or so MB.
Kmail, after a few days leaks a hundred of so MB.
Other than that, everything else seems to be fine. And except for the Amarok media player, all the other 'leaking' apps are far better than windoze equivalents. Generally can't have a 'doze system running those apps anywhere near as long. Just about everything in the 'doze world is measured in hours, not days, weeks, months, years, or uptime.
However, I hope Novell gets some fixes out for these leaks soon, because the average user, if streaming lot of music, would find their system appearing to "lock up" or crash, when in fact what happens is it's the virtual memory manager hitting the hard drive constantly, which bogs the system down so much, you have to be patient and kill Amarok to free up what can be a (GB) GIGABYTE of memory consumed within a day or so of streaming!
I'll post more opinions/reviews over time, and any fixes I find when I'm not buried under this current database project.
