Ok, I have to correct my story. 

I created a new account and logged in with the new account. I opened Quanta 
and so no increase of memory usage. So I switched to the kwin theme and style 
I use with my normal account (which I recently started to use).

Gotcha.... However, the increase of memory usage of Quanta is much higher then 
the increase of the .xsession-errors file. So I Assume the kwin-style/theme 
(Serenity, from kde-look) is doing something to quanta directly.

With my normal account I switched back to plastik, and all seems fine now.

grtz,
