I have exactly the same problem:
# uname -a
Linux awe 3.19.0-30-generic #33~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Tue Sep 22 09:27:00 UTC 2015

After switching back to xserver-xorg-video-ati, X is using much less
memory:
$ ps aux | grep /usr/bin/X
root 1708 0.6 1.9 509828 154948 tty7Ssl+ Sep11 60:43 /usr/bin/X
-core :0 -seat seat0 -auth /var/run/lightdm/root/:0 -nolisten tcp vt7
-novtswitch
$ uptime
15:33:09 up 6 days, 22:3
Same problem with Xubuntu 14.04.3. I switched back to the xserver-xorg-
video-ati driver to see if it fixes the problem.
This was while I was still using fglrx:
$ ps aux | grep /usr/bin/X
root 1470 0.7 24.3 4415808 1973744 tty7 Ss+ Sep04 65:07 /usr/bin/X
-core :0 -seat seat0 -auth /var/
Can confirm the bug still exists, causing massive memory leaks for me as
well.

Reverting from the fglrx (proprietary) driver to the xserver-xorg-video-
ati (open source, tested) driver solved the problem for me.

I also was having this problem. As mentioned by @federicotg, I upgraded
to the AMD Catalyst 14.9 driver, and I have been running Ubuntu for
about 6 days 24/7 with no leaks (at least not noticeable anyway). Xorg
stays around 250MB of usage on average for me now.

By the 'system monitor' I mean the software (v3.6.0) that shows graphs
about CPU and memory.
