Hi
Lately I've been seeing huge memory consumption by the X-server and I've
started to suspect some unexpected feature in E17... I'm building E17 from
source, almost daily using easy17.sh script.
I write to this list because I guess people here are more capable of
saying if it is so or not. I consider myself uncapable of that.
I'm running E17 both at home and at work (and on my Freerunner :-) ).
At work, with ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT card ("RV630 [Radeon HD 2600XT]") with
dual DVI-connected displays, using the AMD/ATI fglrx driver (latest).
At home I have ATI Radeon HD3300 Integrated graphics on Asus M3A78-T mb
using the opensource ATI driver.
The symptom of memory consumption is identical to both configurations and
shows up after 1-2 days of running. Restarting enlightenment does not
release any memory in X-server, instead I need to logout of X to resolve
that. Once X managed to own all memory, including virtmem (swap) so all I
could do was to recycle the PC (push the on/off button thatis).
Below you see the output of 'top', 'xrestop' and 'xdpyinfo' with various
info. Please let me know if I can provide more info.

Isn't the Pxm mem value a bit large ? (I'm using E17 default background
image).
I found a link to a thread describing similar symptoms where they also
suggest it's E17 problem...
