I know this is old and most of you must be running 11.10 now, but I just installed 11.04 and I'm having this problem. The last version of libcairo2 in the repos is 1.11.3, which gives me a ram usage about 1.5Gb just after login. I've forced version 1.10.2 and everything is fine now, ram under 500Mb.
Another problem I noticed is some apps don't close properly with the latest libcairo2. I have a transparent gnome-terminal set as desktop background and if I close it (with right click, exit command, or even xkill) the process remains in top using ram). Also that prevents me from logout or reboot the system (it keeps telling me than some apps refuse to close). Don't know how is this related to the graphic drivers but forcing the older libcairo2 solved it. If somebody is still taking care of this bug, can you tell me if there is a more stable solution other than maintain an older package frozen?
