nice post, nice thread. please be informed that if you need a stable
environment - then use SLE*/SUSE, RH/FC, Debian or whatever other

instead of proper patching of a TESTING Xorg package it's always nice to

personal info:
SLE*-11 no leaks
*SUSE (10.3-11.1) no leaks
FC-10 no leaks
E-svn.

P.S. google + valgrid + gdb are all yours...
