After uninstalling ureadahead (and restarting) the very high memory
usage remains. I also installed the Karmic kernel 2.6.31-20 but the
problem remains. So I think that ureadahead and the kernel are not the
problem. But which component is?

I attach a screenshot displaying htop. From the RAM 518 MB are only
applications. The rest should be cache and buffer, but I don't think it
is, the swap wouldn't be ~1.2 GB full.

If I don't do anything. After some hours the ram and swap usage is the
same, but If I open and close programs, the ram and swap usage
increases. In the screenshot it is possible to see that Xorg is using
3.9% of the memory (only from the RAM?), and it is the process that used
the most of the memory!

How can we find which program / process has the problem?
