I don't know if this is the same bug, but I've had kwin leaking memory since the upgrade to KDE 4.0.4. It makes they system unusable after a few hours until I can restart kwin: kwin --replace if I can get to a konsole, or killall kwin DISPLAY=:0 kwin if I can only get to a TTY. This will start kwin from KDE3. Starting kwin/KDE4 from a TTY seems to have issues.
