Eugene,
Please open a separate bug by running:
ubuntu-bug xorg-server
and also try using 'xrestop' to see which app(s) are causing Xorg to be
so large.

Pretty sure I'm hitting this issue. I don't use LibreOffice that often
but it seems that Xorg memory usage grows without it. But so far I can't
really tell what causes it as sometimes it grows relatively rapidly (by
hundreds of MB a day) and sometimes the growth stalls.
The output of lsmod is
One point of observation. Since this time, I am switching to Debian 10
for daily work because I couldn't bear X11 memory growth. The package

Thanks Wirawan. I was contemplating digging into my driver and switching
from Nvidia to Nouveau (although I think Nouveau couldn't drive my new
monitor last I tried.

Dave, I am suspecting a bug with the X hardware driver. Can you please
describe the machine you are using. Plus produce the output of "lspci"
and "lsmod"?

KDE Neon (Ubuntu 20.04 base).
I do have LibreOffice Writer open full-time.

Here is a fuller analysis (see next attachment, Xfce-
session-20200922-analysis.html). I started LibreOffice on 9/22 nearly
exclusively on a new Xfce session. (Except for the MATE terminal app,
again). I edited a few documents, as indicated in the analysis. Every
time without exception, the X

Based on my experience above, I can say with good degree of certainty
that the LibreOffice was the culprit. I will restart the entire machine
and try this again one more time.

I have tested LibreOffice for a while.
It did cause Xorg memory explosion again as explained below.
I am excerpting my own personal notes here, please bear with the rough form of
it.
The graph that I will attach next will show the point.

I have tested two applications so far...
1) firefox + MATE terminal
2) xpra + MATE terminal
I'm sorry I can't not use MATE terminal because I still have to use part of the
laptop for work.
In either case I did not notice too significant a memory growth. Again, the
memory usage numbers

While the data collection above is going on... here is a recap of the
previous X session (2020-07-05 thru 2020-08-10)
* Restarted X server with XFCE.

* Apps used sometimes: VLC, "xpra attach", geeqie
* Apps used rarely: libreoffice

Brief comment. Have restarted X server 3 days ago to run pretty much
just Firefox + MATE terminal. Will let you know later how this goes. So
far the X server memory usage (RSS) is about 125-130MB. Which is high,
but not super terrible. Usually it takes a few more days before the
usage swells.
Will do shortly.

Reopened because there's probably still a bug somewhere. Although this
bug is now assigned to xorg-server I don't actually think Xorg is to
blame. Xorg just owns the memory that applications have requested
resources within.
The Bug Description shows Xorg's RSS creeping over 700MB which does

Hi Daniel, responding to your comment:
In my years of using Linux desktop (in particular, XFCE), I have never
experienced memory explosion caused by Xorg server like what I described
in this bug report. Please allow me to be a bit candid here. It seems
like the newer versions of desktop software
After such a long period of time you are likely experiencing multiple
leaks from multiple apps. You would need to do exhaustive testing with a
single app over a long period to narrow down which is to blame. It's
probably not worth it, but maybe you can identify the most problematic
apps given more
Thanks. I am testing XFCE desktop for now.
A brief comment on XFCE experience. The starting size of Xorg process
under XFCE is ~100-130 MB, but after 10 days of usage with mostly
Firefox & terminal windows (multiple windows for each app, and sometimes
pdf viewer [atril]) it grew to 270-300 MB. I

I suggest trying a different desktop environment with the same apps for
a while, so we can see if MATE/Marco is the main factor.
