Xorg, keeps on going and going. You exit firefox, and Xorg does not return

Xorg uses standard UNIX malloc, so memory won't be returned to the OS upon
free, just to the free space list in the Xorg heap, unless it was a shared
memory pixmap that was attached to and later released.
(Xsun has a hack to use mmap() for large pixmaps so that it can return memory
to the OS, but this hasn't been ported to Xorg.)
