Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

This could be video driver/metacity/xorg related - I'm not sure at this
point.

Anyhow, firing up inkscape and just resizing the window for a minute
pushes Xorgs appparent memory use up by about 10MB.

Closing inkscape doesn't release the memory.

I'm quite sure this is actually leaked somewhere - when it was up to
1.4GB my machine was nearly unusable even after closing all X
applications.

I couldn't properly check if it was userspace or not because of bug
376798, which may be related.

This may be yet-another-dup of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source
/xorg-server/+bug/98783 . I will note that this is reproducible right
after boot, without starting up firefox or any other applications.
