[NBLUG/talk] Severe memory leaks in Xorg?

[Lincoln Peters]

When I run "top", I thought the following to be of particular interest:

  PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND
 4229 root      16   0 2406m 245m 1796 R 23.9 27.7 105:04.25 Xorg

It would appear that, after running for about 3 days, Xorg has somehow managed 
to occupy over 2GB of memory!  I don't see any logical reason for Xorg to 
require 2GB of memory, so I'm guessing that some sort of particularly nasty 
memory leaks are at work here.

Any ideas as to what's going on?
