potential dapper xorg memory leak

[Russell Cook]

I have the same font size problem with Xfce :-)

This isn't a normal gnome problem. This is a slow down and gradual
chewing of the swap file, with only 2-3 normal apps running. I have 1GB
real RAM and this problem's only occured in the last 1-2 weeks.
