Otherwise I'd suggest playing some with either memprof or valgrind, both will take quite some effort though, but should generally prove the results fairly well once you've got a clue on what application is sucking the RAM. If its X by itself (clean Xsession + term left for a day or five) then I'd be really curious. gaim could well be a culprit since it loads a lot of logs and stuff in RAM (connection states) and isn't the nicest of all apps I've ever seen. //Spider -- begin .signature This is a .signature virus!
