You've got alot of X clients. I've got an app at:
http://www.xfree86.org/~mvojkovi/restest.c
that you can run to print out how many clients there are and
what resources they are using. BE CAREFUL, you want to run
the app like "restest >& outfile" because normally it dumps
to stdout which can cause a deadlock if stdout happens to
be an xterm.
It sounds like maybe you've got alot of defunct apps
laying around, or maybe a client is just leaking display
connections.
