More things I have noticed.

1. I have a suspicion that this bug isn't in xorg-server, just that
xorg-server is allocating too much memory on behalf of e.g. compiz.

2. When running anki under gnome-shell, it won't always cause xorg to run out of memory. But there is still a strange problem. The anki window is really large and there is nothing drawn inside the frame. Anki seems to request a very large window. I get this message from anki:
=======================
QWidget::setMinimumSize: (MainWindow/AnkiQt) The largest allowed size is (16777215,16777215)
=======================


I get this output from gnome-shell:
=======================
 Window manager warning: Screen 0 on display ":0.0" already has a window manager; try using the --replace option to replace the current window manager.
vicki@acer:~$ gnome-shell --replace
    JS ERROR: !!!   Exception was: TypeError: this._workspaces is undefined

Window manager warning: Invalid WM_TRANSIENT_FOR window 0x320000f specified for 0x320000d (anki).
Window manager warning: Window 0x3200039 (Anki) sets an MWM hint indicating it isn't resizable, but sets min size 16383 x 16383 and max size 2147483647 x 2147483647; this doesn't make much sense.
Window manager warning: Log level 16: Native children wider or taller than 65535 pixels are not supported
=======================

So it seems like gnome-shell handles the large window better than unity.
At least it doesn't always bring down the system.

3. Anki works fine under metacity.
