I'll cite myself here: https://github.com/streetturtle/awesome-wm-widgets/issues/11...

Here's another affected library [1]: https://github.com/deficient/volume-control

I've had similar issues wherever GTK interacts with awful.spawn. Basically: glib (GTK) + awful.spawn.easy_async + polling = extremely leak-prone. This is a very common pattern in community awesomewm widgets.

[1]: No bug under the main repo because they're considering it as a framework bug. See here for discussion: https://github.com/awesomeWM/awesome/issues/3584#issuecommen...
