Title:
Xorg memory leak in Kubuntu
Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
The Xorg process consumed more than 1GB after a few days of up-time, however,
kwin process only used 60MB of memory, which could indicate it is different bug
than the #1402551. Scrolling and switching between windows have become
noticably slower. Probably this happened after I wrote and tested several Java
GUI applications, but closing all of the GUI applications doesn't reduce the
memory usage.
I am using the default intel graphics driver. I have nvidia but didn't use
it.
