Your right, I didnt restart the X-Server for days but it helped. So thanks a lot!
As I said I'm suffering of a similar issue here and, as long as I can say, it all started when I upgraded to X.org (7.2 and now xorg-1.3). But what drives me mad is the fact the X virtual memory usage keeps growing at a reate of about 20/40 mega a day, and X will eventually eat all my swap space. The only way out is an X restart, something I really hate since it takes quite some time to restart all my applications. Right now this is what top is reporting: PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 2009 root 15 0 624m 60m 2636 S 1.0 12.0 191:17.24 X X has been running for not more than 16 days, a quite short period of time - if possible I never quit X and never reboot. Note that only the virtual memory usage grows: resident memory is quite constant. I tried to understand what the hell is going on, but I didn't find anything I could relate to this problem. If someone has some hints I would really appreciate. Andrea
