I'm using Kubuntu Lucid amd64 with KDE4, an ATI Radeon HD 4770 with
fglrx drivers.  X seems to be leaking a lot of memory.  When I first log
in to a KDE session my system RAM usage is around 650 MB.  After a day
or so of normal usage, and then closing all apps that weren't running
right after I logged in, my RAM usage is around 1400 MB.  X is using
more than any other process on the system by far, and it's 13.1% of my 4
GB of RAM.  If I log out and back in, RAM usage goes back to around 650
MB.

This problem doesn't seem to exist in Kubuntu Hardy.

       Status: Incomplete => Confirmed
