That's (probably) not indicative of a leak in the window server. First, if you look closely you should see that almost all of the window server's memory is marked as "shared." Specifically, the window buffers are shared with each application that has windows open.
I realize that it's not the window server per se that's leaking--it's definitely something on the X11 side of things. The window server's huge memory use is just a side effect, and it goes down when XDarwin's killed off. I mentioned it as a place to start troubleshooting, since if the problem shows up mostly when using X11 apps, that would be a good place to look...
