Well, not if you already disabled the "Limit Pixmap Cache" checkbox in the
"Advanced" tab. 
Dirk Mueller and I are talking about some optimisations, though, so
maybe in some time.

Eeks, I didn't notice that. But wait. If I comment out the background
manager, it's still 12 MB !? How's that possible? Is there a way to profile
this?
X gets very large indeed, if you unlimit the pixmap cache and have
many different desktops that cannot be tiled. The default of 2Mb cache
should prevent this, though. Otherwise it's a bug.
