Public bug reported:

While i have team fortress 2 running, even if it's just sitting idle at
the menu, X continually leaks memory. Here's some examples from top

Just after restarting X, and starting TF2:
  PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND            
18952 cshadowr  20   0 3440m 696m  45m R   16  8.7   0:33.55 hl2.exe            
16685 root      20   0  694m  85m  22m S    0  1.1   0:37.16 Xorg               

After leaving it overnight:
  PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND            
18952 cshadowr  20   0 3367m 696m  45m S   15  8.7  97:40.81 hl2.exe            
16685 root      20   0 1907m 1.3g  23m S    0 16.2  12:16.79 Xorg               

I have 8GB of RAM, so 16.2% is about 1.3GB of RAM for Xorg. On occasions
i've seen it go up to 80, 90%, making the computer eventually just
freeze.

Closing team fortress 2 does not free the memory and X still leaks
regardless of if compiz is running.

I know that it may be team fortress 2, wine, or X that is causing the
problem. But as it's X that is actually leaking, i figured i would file
a bug against X.

Thanks :)
