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.
