Reopened because there's probably still a bug somewhere. Although this bug is now assigned to xorg-server I don't actually think Xorg is to blame. Xorg just owns the memory that applications have requested resources within.

The Bug Description shows Xorg's RSS creeping over 700MB which does sound like a bug. However xrestop does not seem to explain it, as that only shows 110MB of usage.

The next step here is for you to figure out exactly which app is causing the leakage. To test each app, please log out and in again, then leave just one app running overnight and nothing else.
