: Solution, quit X every so often, all your memory comes back. *NO* the memory didn't come back when I did this. The X server was only about 8M when I exited it. X is not running and I still have 33M of swap in use on my machine, just like before I exited X. : One could then deduce that the leak is somewhere in X11R6. I don't think there is a leak in the X server. However, there may be sub-optimal memory usage in the X server that causes it to keep growning and growing due to increaing memory fragmentation. I know a few people that have purified the X server and found only marginal leaks (like on the order of 20k over several hours of running netscape-like programs). Warner
