<br>
I'm experiencing a huge memory leak in xorg.<br>
Sometimes virtual memory size gets up to 12 Gb (I'm not sure how it's possible on a machine with 2Gb of memory and 2Gb of swap).<br>
My system gets sluggish and I have to restart xorg once a day, which feels a bit win95ish.<br>


My setup is: Kubuntu 11.10 64 bit, KDE 4.7.4, ati mobility radeon x1350.<br>
I've been hoping that fix of <a href="https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=271934#c43" target="_blank">https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=271934#c43</a> would resolve the issue, but it seems it's not the case.<br>





I tried to kill and restart top memory KDE processes to see if the leak is caused by one of them, but it's not the case either.<br>
My current top output sorted by mem usage looks like:<br>

<br>Does it look sane?<br>Can someone recommend any way to track root cause of the issue down?<br>I'm ok to install debug symbols and debug, but not sure what is the most efficient approach would be.<br>Any ideas would be much appreciated.<br>
