Can you expand a bit on "go bad"?  I have a couple of machines here
running with GNOME for days on end with no shared memory problems.

The only thing I've tweaked is to add the following options
into my kernel config:

        options SHMMAX="(64*1024*1024)"
        options SHMMNI=4096
        options SHMSEG=256

these were taken from a Solaris/sparc person running GNOME who had
made equivalent changes to his /etc/system to get rid of lots of
annoying shared-memory warnings in .xsession-errors

I'm not seeing any leaks, though:

viper 17% uptime
 3:53PM  up 5 days, 34 mins, 19 users, load averages: 2.81, 2.85, 2.84
(take off a couple of minutes for boot up, launching xdm, logging
 in and launching GNOME)

viper 18% ipcs -bp
