No, this isn't an application (Chrome or FireFox) memory leak, it is the
Xorg process which is currently stuck at 1.49GB of memory used.

[~]> top -n1 | grep Xorg

This only started happening after upgrading to 11.04.  I've wiped /
reinstalled back to 10.10, and I do not see this issue.  This is using
Ubuntu classic, with the following packages installed:
