I've found out!
It's definitely a compiz issue. While changing desktop wallpapers and compiz
turned on, there is a memory leak as I explained in my first post here. As soon
as I disable compiz and change the wallpaper, all leaked memory is freed and
Xorg's memory usage normalizes.
Then, if I enable compiz again, memory leaks again. So it definitely must be a
compiz issue, because it happens on both ATI and NVIDIA.
