OK it happened again, I'm thinking it has to be a gtk2 program that's causing
this because it doesn't happen when only KDE apps are being used.
If anyone can tell me what to do to figure out what's going wrong i'll be more
than happy to try.
btw other than this (pretty serious), zapping (pretty trivial) and another
problem (w/ galaxy kde style theme only) cooker is pretty stable. Even with me
overclocked :-)

This problem exists in the 4.3-22 and 4.3-23 drivers. Whenever I log into X w/
KDE or Gnome within a matter of hours (2 usually) X uses up enough of the memory
to hang the system. Currently it's at 46% usage, wait it went up to 59.5% and a
couple minutes before it was at 50-ish % as well. Apparently the increased isn't
steady. Not that it matters. The end result is always the same. I get this sound
from my computer indicating that something is accessing the hard drive (kswapd?)
like crazy and seconds to a minute after I have an unusable desktop.
Usage is at 68% now so I better make this quick.
This is how I reproduce it:
log in to kde or gnome
open up a file manager
open up mozilla, x-chat, mcc and gaim.
Sit back and watch the numbers go up.
I actually did watch last time and it seemed to me to happen quicker when
mozilla was open.
I have the cool looking cursors installed for X too, come to think of it I don't
think I was having these problems w/ the plain cursors. I'll switch them and see
what happens.
BTW whenever i do ALt+sysrq+i to kill X (cause ctrl-blah doesn't respond) i get
taken to a garbled terminal.
nvidia ti-4200
256 mb sdram
~500 mb swap
happens when I use nv drivers or nvidia drivers.
Can't think of anything else to help in troubleshooting
X usage was 58% a couple secs ago now it's 67.4% This took me about 5-8 minutes
to write.
