Not all memory leaks are the same. The original bug here was a definite bug in one particular driver. Since then this has been falsely duplicated to a bug in the binary fglrx and also for the pixmap leaks in plasma. Please always open a bug for yourself, and for memory leak queries in addition to the usual logs (like Xorg.0.log) include /proc/`pidof Xorg`/status and the output of xresetop.
