Please attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log.
Can you trigger it with any applications other than google earth? When
you close google earth, are you certain it has terminated properly?
Check `ps aux` after exiting it and verify it is no longer running. If
it is still running, try to `sudo kill -9 <PID>` on it.
Usually Xorg "memory leaks" are really due to client applications that X
is simply providing access to its memory pool. Thus, X is listed as the
owner of the leaking memory but it's really something else's fault.
google earth in this case, most likely.
If X "leaks" only when google earth is running, and not under any other
applications, then I'm afraid the bug is with google earth, not X.
