gnome-shell opens too many files (mostly all pipes)
My current gnome-shell instance has 1023 files open and most of those are pipes:
This leads to frequent crashes of gnome-shell due to EMFILE.
To be sure, I could just increase the limit of open files for a process beyond 1024, but that's really just a bandaid. The real problem here is why does gnome-shell need so many files (pipes)?
