Sorry if I wasn't clear.  Using fglrx, regardless of the x-server package, lead to a memory leak.  The only configuration without a memory leak was disabling the proprietary drivers and using the open source radeon driver (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver) with 2D graphics only.

Also, the poor performance I mentioned was slow opening windows.  Not
just unminimizing, but also initial loading.

Just for interests sake, I downloaded the latest driver from the ATI
site and installed it and have all the same issues with the memory leak
and slow window opening.  I am now using it with the backclear patch and
after 40 min up-time my memory is at 27%, where normal is 16% with
firefox open.

I just started and exited Paraview and my memory dropped to the
appropriate 16%...

Van.
