Package: xserver-xfree86
Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8
Severity: important
This bug report might be related to bugs #245026 and #234067
Current top reading shows X taking 400MB on my desktop. I have 512M of
physical RAM. Right now, swapt is 2MB (of 512) free and phys mem is 47M free.

I'm running 2.6.10-rc1-mm2 right now; but this behavior is independent
of the kernel version I run.
As I read the bugs mentioned above, I went ahead to install xrestop, but
I couldn't... there wasn't enough RAM to 'fork' a process!
After terminating a couple of programs and installing it, I see this in xrestop:
xrestop - Display: localhost:0

It seems that konqueror is hogging the RAM, but this happens when I have
gnome running as well.
I can't leave this system running overnight for more than 5 days; right
now, the uptime is just 2 days and 2 minutes. It's never been this bad.
Any solutions?
