I swapped my environment (gnome-fallback, chromium-browser, evolution,
libreoffice, gnome-terminal) for a vanilla env of ctwm, xterm and
firefox. After 4 days the memory usage stayed at 0.6%. Confirm that it
is not a bug in xorg but in one of the other apps, as suggested by
Daniel. So I need to

Title:
memory leak in xorg-server
Yes, and since it could be the desktop env, the gnome terninal, anywhere
really, I'm going to try real primitive: Tom's Window Mgr (twm) with an
xterm.

Sounds like you will need to "bisect" the issue. That means:
* Log in with no apps running and see if the same problem occurs.
* Log in with half the apps running and see if the same problem occurs.
* Log in again with a quarter of the apps running and see if the
problem still occurs...

Well, it's not libreoffice nor evolution mail client. And I also tried
Unity with X instead of fallback, no better, so it doesn't look like
metacity. I'll try more experiments tomorrow

It might also be the compositor/WM causing leaks in Xorg. Certainly
'metacity' is second in your list, but it is meant to use a lot of
memory because it has to keep copies of all windows. To check to see if
it's the cause you would need to log into a different desktop
environment that's not
i don't think it is libreoffice. I last restarted X 4 days ago, and
memory usage has gone from under 1% to 8%. Libreoffice has stayed
unchanged at 459376K total (with 2 docs open). metacity has grown but
not conclusively. So I'll give it another week

Title:
I restarted the server, monitored it for a few days. The results were
inconclusive, so doing more careful logging over a longer period to see
if I can find a clear culprit :-)

Thanks for the bug report. Memory leaks in the Xorg process are usually
the fault of an application. Because in X11 the server owns the
resources created by applications, and any leaks will appear in the
server process 'Xorg'.
