This still seems to be a problem in recent kernel versions (KMS
enabled)!

Oddly, with kernel 2.6.33, everything seems fine (lucid + ppa kde and
all xorg variants, including xorg-edgers on a Thinkpad T500, i915).

But with every version from 2.6.34 up to 2.6.36-rc4 I have tried, there
clearly is a bad memory leak making the machine unusable within several
hours (watching movies does is not helpful in particular).

This slabtop output shows what happens after less than two hours or so
of normal activity (switching desktops, moving windows etc.):

 OBJS ACTIVE  USE OBJ SIZE  SLABS OBJ/SLAB CACHE SIZE NAME  
211200 211200 100%    0.02K    825      256      3300K kmalloc-16

It'd be great if anyone who knows more about the state of this problem
could comment or post a solution if available...
