Public bug reported:

I updated to maverick when it was released and if I leave the machine
running for a few hours, /usr/bin/X will slowly eat up all memory.
Running memory intensive applications like Virtualbox or firefox and
chromium with lots of tabs open seems to accelerate the leakage. If I
log out again so I'm back at the kdm log in screen, the memory is still
not released. I need to 'stop kdm ; start kdm' in order to get the
memory released.

The problem occurs with both stock maverick as well as latest xorg-
edgers packages (as of 2010-10-14).
