It depends :))))
Do you have a lot of modules installed in XF86Config?
Do you have a big image for background (yes, it is normal that one of
that images occupies 2/4MB or indeed more if it is a photograph)?
What is your resolution?
What is your number of desks?
What depth color are you running at?
How many windows do you have opened?
All that things will make your system use a lot of memory (look at the
problem this other way, mothern video cards have 32MB of RAM, and the
X server should have almost all the infromation in the card and more
things :()
And anyway, X is not the more streamlined program written ever.
Later, Juan.
PS. Closing all the windows/backgrounds/... and seeing that the
number don't change is not a valid test, as X reuses the buffers
that the applications frees :)
