Original reporter indicates issue was a client app and is now resolved;
closing as fixed.

To other commenters on this bug, X memory use is primarily a function of
what client apps request; if a client app has a bug and mismanages its X
memory, it shows up as increased xserver memory load.  But the bug is
still in the client app.  It's a similar situation with high CPU
usage...  see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/HighCPU for some
extra notes.

Sometimes you can determine what clients are consuming excess memory
using the xrestop command, depending on the type of X memory the client
is consuming.

Anyway, >90% of the time when X has high cpu or memory, you should
assume a *client* problem, not a leak in xorg itself.

** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Fix Released
