Public bug reported:

This issue is effecting Linux Mint 17.2 KDE Rafaela (Ubuntu 14.04 LTS)

The 'fglrx' driver set  (2:15.200-0ubuntu0.5) appears to  have a memory
leak issue when setting the 'Compositing type' in KDE to OpenGL 2.0/3.1.
It will slowly bleed memory until 'xorg' is using gigs of memory. This
issue does 'not' appear when using the open source driver set xserver-
xorg-video-ati

I am unable to isolate the problem but it appears that opening  a OpenGL
context is part of the issue.
