Same problems here, sure it's gaim, sure sylpheed-claws releases it's memory
without problems, but, when you have all your gtk+ apps killed, why the memory
isn't released??
well, i tested around for a while now and have to say that it really seems to be gaim.

This then makes for a mess when a sloppy coder doesn't deallocate RAM as
he should when having used X pixmap calls. This is a gaim bug that

about 70% of my memory. when i killed sylpheed-claws, it got back to about 20%.

You're not running Xinerama by any chance, are you?

hi there,
for months now i got the problem that X eats my mem and cpu after running awhile.
i dont know the problem, since other guys told me they got much less problems than me
with this...
does anyone know a problem that could cause this? i could imagine its got something to
do with gtk,
Have you tested the memory to make sure you havent got a bad stick? Try
emergeing memtest86, if there is a memory leak it should spot it.
does an memory error cause programs to fill up memory?
sounds bit weird... but if so, it explains many of my problems *lol*

Ok , this soudnds rather aggrevating indeed.
could you think through what programs you are using on a regular basis,
since it probably is some program leaking pixmaps into X and failing to
reclaim them.

gaim uses gtk-2, sylpheec-claws gtk-1.2
