Public bug reported: I start anki (a qt app) on an oneiric unity desktop and very soon the laptop dies a swap death with xorg consuming all the memory. Starting anki is a reliable way to trigger the problem since I have upgraded to oneiric beta. It didn't happen with 11.04.
Laptop: Acer aspire 3810T, i915 graphics (Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)) Anki package version: 1.2.8-1 xorg package version: 1:7.6+7ubuntu6 With the attached bug report I ran ubuntu-bug on xorg before it used all the RAM.
