Thanks for the bug report. Memory leaks in the Xorg process are usually
the fault of an application. Because in X11 the server owns the
resources created by applications, and any leaks will appear in the
server process 'Xorg'.
To help track down any offending applications, please run this command
while the leak is happening:
xrestop
and it will show the applications causing the most memory usage in Xorg.
