Hi, It does seem to be kde that's causing the leak. I'm running 2.2.1 (from ports), and the output below lists all processes using more than 10M of virtual memory. The only apps that I'm using directly are konsole and xmms. STAT VSZ RSS COMMAND S 231284 139340 X :0 -nolisten tcp (XFree86) I 14748 2616 kdeinit: dcopserver --nosid (kdeinit) I 15776 3948 kdeinit: klauncher (kdeinit) I 17888 1812 kdeinit: knotify (kdeinit) I 15184 1252 kdeinit: Running...

I've got 256 Megs of ram, which should be enough to run kde2. Any advice on how I can narrow down the problem? I'm competent w/ C++ and gdb, but I don't know how to begin w/ such a large code base as kde.
