No leaks in X server side in both situations. No memory and file descriptors are leaked also in client side, since the kernel takes care of cleaning up them for you. Temporary files created by the client application are going to "leak" in case of a crash or if they are not explicitly removed during shutdown. _______________________________________________ Qt-components mailing list Qt-components@qt.nokia.com http://lists.qt.nokia.com/mailman/listinfo/qt-components
