I 100% agree with Jim but I however do not 100% agree with the bug subject he referenced. Bottom line is that Xorg does not currently have a way to limit its RAM demands, but we do have a perfectly working solution for this - so why should the X developers waste their time implementing something we already have? I must agree with the comment #2 for the bug above - Xorg should rather implement some "quota" RAM limit per Xclient. As Jim already spotted, when we limit the whole X, the session is substantially more stable. But it can still happen, that your gnome session, requesting only a small piece of X server memory, will be denied and will eventually crash. With the quota system it could never happen - you would let every single X client to allocate some amount of resources and here you go... Moreover I believe it will be much simpler to implement.
