hello list,
my uptime now ist some 26 hours, an i haven't worked really much on my 
machine, but nevertheless, it seems as if the amount of Ram X consumes rises 
by about 5 MB per day.
whenever i start an application (window), the memory used by X goes up, but 
after closing the window, all memory is freed again.
so far totally normal.
the strange behaviour is as follows:
the minimum Memory amount X consumes rises in steps of about 100-200 kb, 
summarizing up to 5 Meg per day.
a newly started X server uses about 50 MB, now (after 26 hours) i am at about 
56-58 MB.
i said before, some weeks ago, i noticed about 150 mb (after about a week or 
more uptime)
if i restart X, i'm back at 50 MB.
this definitely only happens when I'm running kde.
i am running a "top | grep" all the time now, trying to find out which 
process doesn't free all the memory after closing it, but i haven't found out 
yet.
 485 root      13   0 58576  41M  5492 R     1.5 33.5  91:29 X 
sorry if i am arguing like a newbie, but thanks to all the listeners!
any ideas ?
