are you running any special themes/icon sets/mouse pointers?  I've
seen those cause leaks under some conditions.



Also, you could try making a new user, and seeing if that user has the
same problems.  If not chances are the problem is because one of the
.g* directories in your home folder, but dont remove them all, you
wanna be able to reproduce the problem so the developers can figure out
what's causing it ;)
