I tried use wallpaper changer (Variety), and Xorg starts use a lot memory after couple wallpaper transition In common case the Xorg process use around 200-300Mb on my system, but with wallpaper changer Xorg memory usage go up to 600Mb - 800Mb, depend how long the wallpaper changer is ruining, first I reported it as Variety bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/variety/+bug/1260655 but looks like it not Variety problem, because it can be reproduced when just change the wallpaper manually a couple times my system is Ubuntu 13.10 x86_64 , Monitor resolution 1680x1050, 22", Video ATI HD6850 with proprietary driver; On Ubuntu 13.04 x86_64 was same problem; -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/628542 Title: Is the Xorg memory leak bug back again? Status in “xorg-server” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I am not sure how this relates to this 'bug': https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/98783, i.e., whether it is a bug at all - sorry for spamming :(. My system is slowing down the longer I am using it without restarting since some days now. It finally crashed today with Xorg eating up about 900MB RAM. after restarting and working for some time it is back at like 200 and still growing. Other applications like firefox take 400MB or 200MB in case of thunderbird at the same time (I am a tab maniac :)) but work fine.
