just fyi, i do *not* see this pattern, and I think most of the original
contributors to the bug also don't. Is the memory just getting lost in
the abyss? is it stashed under Xorg? like i say, i don't see this
behaviour on my currently running nvidia/metacity system (been running
for over a week now).
