Is it possible for dead applications to "use" resources in the X
server?  I mean, if a web browser allocate several resources in the X
server (shared memory, pixmaps, fonts, I do not know what types of
resources are available for allication), and they die, is all these
resources released in the server?

The reason I ask, is that I suspect that buggy applications can use up
a lot of resources in the X server, making the X process so big that I
have to restart the X server after a while to get back my systems
performance.  At least it seem to be that way to me.

If this is the case, would some kind of garbage collection be posible?
I mean, locate orphaned resources, and release them.
