i run xrestop on a Kubuntu with desktop effects enabled (Kubuntu 9.10
kernel 2.6.31-16-generic #53 x86_64 with nvidia 195.22) and on another
with desktop effects disabled (Kubuntu 10.04 kernel 2.6.32-7-generic #10
x86_64 with radeon xorg driver).

On both machines xorg was eating up memory. I ran xrestop on both and saw that pixmaps uses a lot of the memory.
On machine with 9.10:
xrestop:
 Display: :0
          Monitoring 48 clients. XErrors: 6
          Pixmaps:  498688K total, Other:      99K total, All:  498788K total

May be this could be a hint?
