Comment 8 for bug 487362

When plasmoid are loading data xorg memory goes up.
I use two micro blogging plasmoids. Before they do a reload of their data xorg used about 94 mb. After they refreshed their data, xorg was using 220mb.
After some minutes top says xorg is using 362m RES mem.
xrestop
pixmaps 148544K

when the plasmoids refresh again:
top 476 RES Mem
xrestop: Pixmaps 211658K

after another refresh
top: 595 RES Mem
xrestop: Pixmaps 272511K

as the refresh rate of the plasmoids is 5min the memory is eaten up quite fast.

But the plasmoids are not the only "programs" showing this behaviour.
