gnome-panel memory hogging and always running

[Kazutoshi Morioka]

I think gnome-panel has memory leak around icon theme cache.
The gnome-panel mmaps icon-theme.cache files, and didn't munmap.
For unknown reason, gnome-panel on my PC mmaps same icon-theme.cache again and again.
Removing ~/.recently-used and ~/.gtk-bookmarks cures this situation.
