Title:
Xorg server uses unacceptably large
Update 20200922
I have tested LibreOffice for a while.
It did cause Xorg memory explosion again as explained below.
I am excerpting my own personal notes here, please bear with the rough form of
it.
The graph that I will attach next will show the point.
I started using a LibreOFfice program at

Based on my experience above, I can say with good degree of certainty
that the LibreOffice was the culprit. I will restart the entire machine
and try this again one more time.

I have tested two applications so far...
1) firefox + MATE terminal
2) xpra + MATE terminal
I'm sorry I can't not use MATE terminal because I still have to use part of the
laptop for work.
In either case I did not notice too significant a memory growth. Again, the
memory usage numbers
While the data collection above is going on... here is a recap of the
previous X session (2020-07-05 thru 2020-08-10)
* Restarted X server with XFCE.
* Apps used almost all the time: mostly Firefox, MATE terminal
* Apps used sometimes: VLC, "xpra attach", geeqie
* Apps used rarely: libreoffice
I
Brief comment. Have restarted X server 3 days ago to run pretty much
just Firefox + MATE terminal. Will let you know later how this goes. So
far the X server memory usage (RSS) is about 125-130MB. Which is high,
but not super terrible. Usually it takes a few more days before the
usage swells.
Will do shortly.

Hi Daniel, responding to your comment:
In my years of using Linux desktop (in particular, XFCE), I have never
experienced memory explosion caused by Xorg server like what I described
in this bug report. Please allow me to be a bit candid here. It seems
like the newer versions of desktop software
Thanks. I am testing XFCE desktop for now.
A brief comment on XFCE experience. The starting size of Xorg process
under XFCE is ~100-130 MB, but after 10 days of usage with mostly
Firefox & terminal windows (multiple windows for each app, and sometimes
pdf viewer [atril]) it grew to 270-300 MB. I
Thanks. I am testing XFCE desktop for now. Will report to you again once
I can gather the stats better.

Description: Xorg server uses unacceptably large amounts of memory (and
keep growing)
Ever since I upgraded to Ubuntu 20.04 (with fresh install) on my laptop
(Lenovo T450s, Intel Core i5-5200U, Intel HD5500 graphics), I have been
troubled by the way Xorg process uses memory.
Thanks for the reply. I launched the live CD version of the daily
build on the machine. The display was changed to a different monitor
with ordinary 1280x1024 resolution. Sorry, it is not practical for me
to repeat the old setup and rerun the test.
I see that the nouveau driver is indeed loaded
Public bug reported:
I am using nouveau driver to drive a ViewSonic LCD display that has HD
resolution (1920x1080) on this computer. On random occasion, usually
after unlocking a screen saver, the screen will look corrupt.
Symptoms:
1) desktop background is always corrupted
2) Letters from some
