Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

Since I upgraded to Lucid, I'm very disappointed requiring rebooting oftenly my ubuntu because it is swapping even when I clause applications.
I could find the bug :
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/565981
that could help me confirming the GEM object problem :
it is very rare that the GEM object is decreasing
