Is there a bug open for that issue?

No particular action, no. After reporting this bug, I watched a DVD last
night, and then suspended my laptop (after stopping the film).

After resuming this morning, I see:

mdz 24782 1.2 8.0 578848 245560 pts/0 Sl Apr13 9:09 compiz --replace

and the memory usage is creeping up quickly without any explicit WM action from
me:
