Title:
  [Upstream] [hardy] Writer eats X server memory when using transparent
  PNG as page background

  Confirmed
Status in “abiword” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu:

Status in “openoffice.org” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: openoffice.org

  This is in Feisty, in OpenOffice.org Writer, in a document with multiple manual page breaks with different styles on each page (that is, using a different background image / watermark on each page).  As I type, memory use increases rapidly, eventually making the hard drive go nuts as all the swap space is used up.
  The end result is that I have to kill OpenOffice and hope I saved recently.

  WORKAROUND: Use LibreOffice Writer.
