Thanks for the bug report. Memory leaks in the Xorg process are usually the fault of an application. Because in X11 the server owns the resources created by applications, and any leaks will appear in the server process 'Xorg'.

To help track down any offending applications, please run this command while the leak is happening:

  xrestop

and it will show the applications causing the most memory usage in Xorg.
