["Timothy J. Holloway" <leather.turtle@xxxxxxxxx>]

I've had problems with Ubuntu 14.10 then 14.04.1 LTS then Linux Mint 17
and now Linux Mint Debian Edition. I managed to get the system monitor
app up and found mate-settings-daemon was taking up the most memory and
I couldn't kill the process. 1.8GB or more of my 2GB was taken up and
eventually the two cores of my CPU started making sine and cosine waves
in the system resources tab. I had to reboot again on my new
installation. I had hoped whatever the problem was, it had been
corrected by the fresh installation.

Title:
  Xorg memory leak on trusty

Status in xserver-xorg-video-intel package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  After a few hours Xorg process was consuming a GB of RAM, after a day
  or so it was 2GB, now after 2 days it's over 4GB. I'd rather X wasn't
  eating all my RAM.
