Hi, I am wondering if a badly behaved user program could cause the Xorg server to end up with increasing memory usage that doesn't get released even after the program is closed. The reason I ask is that I am suspecting the issue is gkrellm (see below), but I don't know if that is a reasonable suspicion.
The reasons I suspect gkrellm are: 1) The problem didn't appear until after I started using gkrellm on them 2) On the physical machine were I noticed similar issues I was using gkrellm 3) gkrellm has other outstanding bugs, including segfault with remote gkrelltopd, when accessed from the client 4) After ditching gkrellm the problem is not occurring (at least not yet, might need a few days to be sure of that; there is the possibility that's just because gkrellm keeps the video 'doing stuff'). Regards, Daniel -- <erno> hm. I've lost a machine.. literally _lost_. it responds to ping, it works completely, I just can't figure out where in my apartment it is. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-x-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
