Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

Initially (after I installed Lucid) my memory usage was very high (1.1GB
on login to GNOME without any apps open). I am using fglrx, but am not
using Compiz. The memory usage remained constant for the most part
though. I was concerned with the size of the used memory and couldn't
figure out what is using it. After the latest set of updates (a couple
of days ago) memory usage dropped to pre-Lucid levels (about 400MB on
login). But now I've noticed that memory usage keeps going up and up
ever so slightly. In about 2 days of moderate use system is using about
400MB of RAM more than at the beginning. Since I've heard that there are
problems with memory leaks in xorg with ATI driver I am assuming this is
related but I don't really know for sure.
