X leaks memory while team fortress 2 is running in wine

[Azelphur]

While i have team fortress 2 running, even if it's just sitting idle at the menu, X continually leaks memory. Here's some examples from top

Just after restarting X, and starting TF2:
  PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
18952 cshadowr 20 0 3440m 696m 45m R 16 8.7 0:33.55 hl2.exe
16685 root 20 0 694m 85m 22m S 0 1.1 0:37.16 Xorg

After leaving it overnight:
  PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
18952 cshadowr 20 0 3367m 696m 45m S 15 8.7 97:40.81 hl2.exe
16685 root 20 0 1907m 1.3g 23m S 0 16.2 12:16.79 Xorg

I have 8GB of RAM, so 16.2% is about 1.3GB of RAM for Xorg. On occasions i've seen it go up to 80, 90%, making the computer eventually just freeze.

Closing team fortress 2 does not free the memory and X still leaks regardless of if compiz is running.

I know that it may be team fortress 2, wine, or X that is causing the problem. But as it's X that is actually leaking, i figured i would file a bug against X.

Thanks :)

I am having the issue with some other wine 3D apps (SpellForce, Majesy for example ).
It easily gets over 1GB after some use(1.3 is the highest i saw), and does not get released after the apps are closed.

i am using 64-bit 9.10 version with a Nvidia 8400MGT card

I get the(unconfirmed) feeling that it also happens, albeit more slowly, in "normal" use. compiz is not active.

Hi CShadowRun,

This bug was reported against an earlier version of Ubuntu, can you
test if it still occurs on Lucid?

Please note we also provide technical support for older versions of
Ubuntu, but not in the bug tracker. Instead, to raise the issue through
normal support channels, please see:

    http://www.ubuntu.com/support

If you are the original reporter and can still reproduce the issue on
Lucid, please run the following command to refresh the report:

  apport-collect 494064

If you are not the original reporter, please file a new bug report, so
we can work with you as the original reporter instead (you can reference
bug 494064 in your report if you think it may be related):

If by chance you can no longer reproduce the issue on Lucid or if you

or 'Invalid' as appropriate, at the following URL:

This appears to be fixed in lucid, left TF2 running all night and X is only using 3% :)

I also find that this bug does not happen in Lucid. I used to see Xorg using up to 10gb under Karmic when using 3D apps with Nvidia 190. Now in Lucid it stays at normal levels.
