Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

In the last week or so, I've frequently been running out of X server
client connection slots and getting "Maximum number of clients reached"
errors. For example, I'm getting it right now and I'm running 3 pterms,
Chrome, and Thunderbird; I've even killed my panel. 'xwininfo -root
-children' produces what seems to be an absurd number of X clients
(150-ish, when it's able to make a connection), even immediately after
Gnome/Xfce startup.

It doesn't take long. A day at most. I've had this system up and running
for months, and this just started happening. I did install some X
development libraries (x11proto-core-dev, libmotif-dev, x11proto-print-
dev, and x11proto-xext-dev plus their dependencies) about two weeks ago,
but this problem has not been happening that long. I've installed other
packages, but nothing that would seem to have any relation to this
problem.

I've logged out and in, rebooted, and changed from Gnome to Xfce, and
none of the changes helped. Using twm seems to help.
