David Baron,

But what if one has multiple firefoxes all pounding on GTK/Gdk/X11 at the same time? Could that be part of the problem? I just got an Untitled window again, this time in Fedora 10 64b with 5 instances of firefox 3.0.4 running and maybe 500 tabs altogether,

On a possibly related note, in fedora 10 my X11 process has been going wild using up 11-12G of main memory, and there appears to be a correlation with whether the browsers are started sequentially/gradually or all loaded up at once (maximum stress on GTK/Gdl/X11 window system). This is with Nvidia Geforce6100 or 7200, and either the public (aka. nv) or the proprietary (aka. nvidia) driver.
