I too want to shout how it's the Year of the Linux Desktop but I've been fighting mate-clock-applet recently. It has a memory leak, somewhere, and it slowly consumes RAM.

Normally though it's ~65 MiB for both clock & weather.

Also mate-screenshot is leaking RAM/processes. About ~40 MiB leaked per screenshot.

These things do tend to get fixed over time, though.
