Ignore him.  He was being rude.  He doesn't seem to realize that
server-side X resources are not stored as pointers on the client side
and thus probably aren't trackable via valgrind.  Not to mention that
trying to track leaks and resources with gdb is like using an
astrolabe for automobile navigation.

It sounds like there are a few different people experiencing strange
server-side leaks, but if xrestop isn't showing anything, it may
simply be a server-specific issue.  I'm not sure we can offer much
help on that.
