Package: xserver-common Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 Followup-For: Bug #281050 Hello,
I'm experiencing heavy XFree86 memory leaking as well. I killed the process before finding out about this bug report, so I can't provide any useful info right now. Over around 100 hours of active usage the resident part grew to more than 200MB (right now after restarting X it is a mere 16MB), and the system became really sluggish. The bug should not be related to a particular desktop environment or application: I have switched to GNOME a couple of days ago, because I thought KDE was slow -- but apparently this leak had been the problem all the time! It somehow never struck me to check the memory usage of the X server, until now. Please fix this bug, it is *extremely* annoying and disappointing to think that I will have to restart every couple days to have a usable system.
