Bug Description
I'm running the Gutsy release bits, with the NVIDIA 100.14.19 closed/proprietary driver and compiz enabled with full desktop effects.
Compiz is leaking 3MB of memory every time I open and close a window. That is to say, I can see resident memory usage in 'top' (not just virtual address space) increasing steadily, and every time I open and close a terminal window I see it jump by 3MB.
I just had to power-cycle my system because compiz.real was using 1.7GB of resident memory, and it locked up the machine when I tried killing it.
