Bug Description
ubuntu amd64 version, nvidia card.
After few days, Xorg memory usage grows to around 500 MB (!).
If I log out and log in into my kde session, then still around 400 MB are used.
When I fully reset Xorg (ctrl+alt+backspace zap) then the 400 MB are freed, and when I log in again then this time I have 400 mb more ram free.
Since only resetting Xorg fixes this (killing firefox, nor re-logging into my session doesnt hlep) then it looks like Xorg bug (and/or the driver).
I use nvidia closed driver installed via Ubuntu.

Not sure if this is a dupe of that bug. This is about Xorg showing increased memory usage and the other is about the nvidia driver leaking texture memory in the compiz process. I don't think Xorg uses GLX_EXT_ texture_ from_pixmap internally.
