I'm trying to figure out why X11 is using so much memory on my
workstation. Here is the output from 'top':

  PID USERNAME PRI NICE  SIZE    RES STATE  C   TIME   WCPU    CPU COMMAND
  236 steve      2   0   215M   210M select 1 435:16  0.05%  0.05% XFree86

215MB seems like alot to me. OTOH, this is a dual 1.8Ghz Xeon box with 1GB
RAM so I'm not losing any sleep over it. However I am curious to know if
this is normal or indicative of some memory leaks in applications.
My current environment is Gnome2, although the number doesn't decrease
drastically with Windowomaker either.
