[Bug 628542] [NEW] Is the Xorg memory leak bug back again?

 

Public bug reported:

I am not sure how this relates to this 'bug':
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/98783, i.e.,
whether it is a bug at all -  sorry for spamming :(. My system is
slowing down the longer I am using it without restarting since some days
now. It finally crashed today with Xorg eating up about 900MB RAM. after
restarting and working for some time it is back at like 200 and still
growing. Other applications like firefox take 400MB or 200MB in case of
thunderbird at the same time (I am a tab maniac :)) but work fine. I
know that this is a very vague description...(see logs)
