KDE 4 with compositing or without? If with, using XRender or OpenGL? Does changing between these three options have any impact on the observed leaks?
Note that the valgrind log doesn't seem to show any such huge leaks, so it's possible these are actually server resource leaks in the clients. If you restart kwin4 or Amarok, does the X server memory usage go down or at least stop growing for a while?
