A little more info, as I've been trying to watch the output of xwininfo
-root -children, as well as xrestop over time.
As I mentioned before, the number of root children keeps growing over
time. It starts out under 100, and grows over time. When the "Maximum

This bug has been reported over and over again since it was introduced
in 12.04 (just do a LP search for "Maximum number of clients reached").
Now, for some reason in 15.10 it's much easier to reproduce. I hit the
problem every day now, whereas I used to be able to go a couple weeks

It's a script I wrote myself. I would be happy to share it if that would
be useful.
I do not understand why you marked this issue invalid.

the background that changes my background image every couple minutes.
When I disable that script, the problem goes away.
