If I leave my Fedora 17 desktop (4Gb of RAM) running for half a day or more, the responsiveness drops as the load climbs.
At the end it's a total stall with memory usage skyrocketing to 99% and the system blocked.
I thought it was Firefox, then Gnome then I noticed the gnome-shell process was at the top of the resource-consuming processes.
A simple restart of Gnome (Alt-F-r) fixed the problem for good.
I'll check how often I need to do this.
It could be something connected with this particular release of Fedora or a general one with this Gnome (3.4.x).
Update! Another source of load is Chrome. Try to restart it to see if you gain some memory space.
