I've never seen this happen. What do you get when this is happening and you do "xlsclients | sort | uniq -c" ? I currently have 64 X clients running here. Most KDE things show up as 2 or 3 X clients. plasma-desktop shows up as 20. firefox shows up as 1.
I've seen reports of this, stating it's a hard-coded thing in xorg code, which I find entirely asinine
It probably seemed like a reasonable assumption back when the X11 protocol was designed that an X client would only make 1 connection to the server, and that having 256 or 512 X clients at once was enough. I don't have the Xorg source here so can't find where this is set, either.
Chrome/Chromium that launches some 300 flocks on various things, and blows out the 256/512 client count on xorg.
What did you mean by "flocks"? If Chrome creates a separate X client for every browser tab, that'd probably cause stupidity, but I could see it doing that. (Having fewer than 30 tabs open at any given time would fix that if it were the case.)
I have 3 chrome profiles open, some pdfs, libreoffice, some chrome apps, some file manager windows (dolphin/kde), and not much else. [...] am I the only person that really "uses" a linux desktop to see these?
Obviously not if you found some other people complaining on a search engine. First thing to do is figure out which program is causing the stupidity. I was surprised to see 20 plasma-desktop clients here, because plasma applets are useless and I didn't think I had any of them running at all.
