hi curtis,
i'm using kde 2.1.1, only.
right now i have opera 5.07, soffice 5.2, kmail, xmms, kab, kmail, a shell 
with top and a root shell running.
my X is running since a few days and the amount of memory it uses stays 
constantly between 54 and 57 MB Ram.
but: i noticed: under extensive use of windows (i do a lot of webprogramming, 
running the gimp, quanta, netscape, mozilla, opera, kfilereplace and several 
konqueror windows simultaneously on different desktops) my X memory usage
grows up to 150 MB an more.
next time i have one of the frequent X server crashes I'll try to watch the 
memory consumption...
i hope this mail can be useful, sometimes i'm bored by a endlessly swapping 
machine, and after a x restart everything is fine again.

thanks, see you on monday, i'm off for a trip to tuscany
