Well, I tried closing everything down. Here's what xrestop is reporing after a restart yesterday. And what processes I have running: xrestop - Display: localhost:0 Monitoring 10 clients. XErrors: 0 Pixmaps: 24191K total, Other: 68K total, All: 24259K total res-base Wins GCs Fnts Pxms Misc Pxm mem Other Total PID Identifier 0a00000 0 2 0 6 8 23440K 240B 23440K ? <unknown> 0e00000 332 138 1 212 1658 751K 50K 802K ? <unknown> 1000000 4 14 4 2 46 8B 5K 5K ? xterm 0800000 4 14 4 2 46 8B 5K 5K ? xterm 0600000 4 14 4 2 46 8B 5K 5K ? mutt-bumby-1000-2799-6 + (/tmp) - 1200000 2 2 0 0 2 0B 144B 144B ?

I'm not clear if that shows just what's on my Xserver or system wide. Xorg is the process eating memory: $ ps -p 26499 u USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND root 26499 2.9 5.5 109108 50384 ?
