As indicated, SM trunk had been up for 5+ days. Closing SM dropped Xorg from 41% to 11.6%. Maybe it's pango or cairo trouble if not Gecko trunk, but I just don't expect top to show X to be separately gobbling RAM just because SM is. It's like for each byte SM wastes, Xorg wastes an extra two. :-p -- " Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."
