There was a time when it didn't restart, then a few releases back it was decided that it should. I for one am happier the way it is now because my X server definitely leaks memory quite severely. I posted about this a while back (see https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2008-September/msg00036.html) but got no reaction. The problem is quite solid and reproducible. I was holding off reporting it to BZ in case any of the pending updates fixed it but they haven't. poc -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
