Here is a fuller analysis (see next attachment, Xfce-
session-20200922-analysis.html). I started LibreOffice on 9/22 nearly
exclusively on a new Xfce session. (Except for the MATE terminal app,
again). I edited a few documents, as indicated in the analysis. Every
time without exception, the X pixmap memory usage grew. My previous
attachment (graph) showed that the X memory usage eventually exploded
after an extended period of time the LO Writer app was open--nearly a
month. This time, I did not do that. But I managed to show in the graph
that almost every document edit leads to a significant increase in the X
pixmap memory usage (5 MB, 10 MB, and even 20 MB just looking at the
graph). The problem is, once the LibreOffice is closed, the X pixmap
memory usage won't shrink anymore. I do have the xrestop snapshots of
the LibreOffice usage but haven't had chance to process the data to
graph it. Ask me if that is desired. But I will send the script that
polls the memory usage as a second attachment in case that is useful for
others to monitor the memory growth.
