I've been experimenting with this overnight th epast few days.  A few
observations:

1) If I start a fresh X server, RSS goes to 6M and stays as long as I
don't log in, including overnight.

2) I read some previous issues where long-running Firefoxes triggered
similar leaks.  Last night I left clients going (banshee and vuze),
but close firefox.  RSS was up to 856M this morning.

3) Tonight, I'm going to try leaving my WM running but no other
clients.
