I upgraded my workstation and desktop to Xubuntu 9.04, I haven't seen any 
memory leaks.  My workstation stays logged in constantly to Xubuntu.

I also run command line Jaunty with XFCE 4.6 on my laptops.  I haven't 
seen any memory leaks either.

On both Xubuntu and XFCE 4.6 its been nothing but smooth sailing and 
nirvana for me.  Its everything I've ever wanted in a desktop.
