Title:
Xorg server uses unacceptably large
Update 20200922
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 started using a LibreOFfice program at

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 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

Title:
Xorg server uses unacceptably large amounts of memory
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 almost all the time: mostly Firefox, MATE terminal
* 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
sound

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

Thanks. I am testing XFCE desktop for now. Will report to you again once
I can gather the stats better.

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.
