Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS
openbox:

Expected XOrg to release memory or not to increase memory abnormally
when continuously taps.
Instead, XOrg increase resident memory continuously when taps on the
screen.
Steps to Reproduce
---------------------------------
Just tap continously on touchscreen inside application opened within openbox.
(In my case I just tapped in terminal)
Further details
-------------------------------
It was observed that XOrg has consumed a large portion of memory towards the
later part of the day.
Further analysis found that, memory consumption increases only when I
use touchscreen, not when I use my mouse.
So, I monitored XOrg memory by continuously tapping the touchscreen and
found that each touch contributes to increase in XOrg memory.
Next, I switched back to Unity and XOrg memory usage was normal with
both mouse, and touchscreen. So I suspect openbox contributes to memory
leak.
Tried different other combinations such as different touch driver
versions, and non seems to contribute to memory leak other than openbox.
