** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: xorg
  
  $ lsb_release -rd
  Description:	Ubuntu 9.04
  Release:	9.04
  
  Xorg memory consumption grows continuously with firefox usage.  However,
  after closing firefox xorg consumption is not decreased.  A new firefox
  instance will grow xorg memory usage further.  Closing it again does not
  reduce xorg memory usage.  Eventually all free memory is used and it
  will start to swap.
  
  The setup that shows this behavior has dual monitors and is using the
  fglrx driver.  My other setup does not have this issue with similar
  usage but only 1 monitor.
  
  Current usage is
    PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND
