[Abhishek Udupa <755863@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've narrowed it down to the PrivateScreen::syncStacks () function in
src/screen.cpp. There's a call to XQueryTree there and the "children"
variable which XQueryTree returns does not look like it escapes the
function, nor is it freed. I've attached a patch that fixes it for me (2
hours of uptime with compiz memory usage steady at 21 MB).

I'm no compiz developer nor am I an X11 hacker, so I'm not sure of this
is the right fix. Could the compiz package maintainers please validate
the fix as well as pull in the patch?
