Just adding my two cents to the party...

I've also been noticing excessive RAM usage in Xorg, having spent
several weeks dealing with it - I've narrowed it down to the wallpaper-
tray app I was running, also happens with Drapes (i.e. - when the wall
paper changes frequently). Since having settled on a wallpaper, Xorg
looks like such:

1673 root      20   0  160m  65m  21m R   10  1.7  13:30.42 Xorg

As compared to having it eat as much as 1GB of ram after several hours
of usage.

I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 64bit, Nvidia 9800GTm with the proprietary
195.36 Beta drivers (also tested on the "Official Nvidia" drivers 190.53
with the same result). Tested with both stock Xorg packages and Xorg
from x-swat repo (currently in use):

dpkg -l |grep xorg: 
xorg                     1:7.4+3ubuntu10
xserver-xorg          1:7.4+3ubuntu10
xserver-xorg-core   2:1.6.4-2ubuntu4

Please let me know if you need anything else... This issue is easily reproducible for me. 
Daniel
