I have the same problem with the Xorg process increasing in size. When I first log in, the process has some 650m virtual, and 53m resident, all as expected with 512m video ram. During use, and especially while playing Anarchy Online under Cedega, Xorg grows in size, and does not shrink after the game is stopped. I'm running 64 bit ubuntu, so X doesn't crash or anything, but after a few days it will start to swap out a lot of the Xorg process. With 4 GB system RAM, the Xorg process tends to stabilize at 2.1g resident, the rest seemingly flowing into swap. I think the most I've been at is some 8g swap used, which seemed to be mostly the Xorg process.
Restarting X seems to free all the leaked memory, but is not very convenient.. I've installed the updated packages from 2009-06-26, but that doesn't seem to help much. Right now, after a few hours of playing, and then stopping the game, Xorg is at 1768m VIRT and 1.1g RES.
