Just to add one more piece of information that I found, it seems that the System Monitor itself is the other piece of the equation making Xorg get large. If I run System Monitor and top at the same time, I'll watch Xorg get bigger and bigger on both of them. If I kill nautilus, that helps. But killing System Monitor gets rid of the rest. I can watch in top the memory jump back down. Why would System Monitor be forcing Xorg to hold onto memory from other apps?
I no longer need to restart X at all. Killing nautilus and System Monitor is all I need. It's still annoying, but less so now. -- Nautilus causes memory leak in Xorg? https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/484521 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
