Yes, in my case it is battery related. Jason, I wonder if you have a UPS, or some other power related device like that?

I did some more debugging. When I insert the battery, this subroutine is run continually:

Breakpoint 1, gpm_tray_icon_devices_changed_cb (engine=0x80a3238,
    icon=0x80d90e0) at gpm-tray-icon.c:338
338 in gpm-tray-icon.c

About once every second this routine is called and 4kB extra is used on the heap. I don't know enough about the code yet, but maybe the heap usage is never freed?
