use xrestop. that reports what x apps use what x resources. you'll find e uses
1 screen sized pixmap for desktop bg and thats pretty much it. as reported
already - it looks like x added a leak in mouse pointer changes. the code
for animating the pointer (per frame) is:
Ecore_X_Cursor cur;
cur = ecore_x_cursor_new(p->win, p->pixels, p->w, p->h, p->hot.x,
p->hot.y); ecore_x_window_cursor_set(p->win, cur);
ecore_x_cursor_free(cur);
so literally:
1. create cursor with canvas ARGB pixel data
2. set cursor to window
3. free cursor (ok - as cursor will stay around until the window is deleted due
to reference counting).
any previously set cursor should be freed if it was set by this as it was
already freed and when replaced, will be freed. i bet x has grown a bug in this
code as e is probably about the only thing that animates cursor by drawing them
its own memory then creating a new cursor for the new frame.
you can check the ecore_x calls as to what they do xlib-wise, but they are
correct.
