Right, I would imagine that quite a few people use the multiple desktops.

I tried upping the time to every 20 minutes but it still happened.  Mind you, 
kdesktop itself doesn't get any bigger.. X does.  The only reason I suspect 
that it's kdesktop doing it is because every time the wallpaper changes, the 
RSS size of X goes up *exactly* 1.54M

Hmm.. I wonder if this has anything to do with scaled pixmaps...
