This is indeed quite surprising! If you disable your keymaps and just use
one of them, does it still significantly leak / does xfsettingsd still
leak, too? The trace clearly indicates that the leak occurs precisely when
the keymap is changed -- libkeybinder probably forgets to clean up the data
it had about the previous keymap!
