Sometimes even killing an doesn't release all the memory that it's
supposed to. :-( AbiWord is one such app, I found -- even after it's
closed, the X server still uses more memory than it's supposed to.
(XFree86 4.1 from Woody).
You may also want to keep some system resource monitor open, and watch
the swap space to see if the memory use jumps up when you start up some
app. I have gkrellm running all the time, but even a plain old top
might do the trick. (Although on a laptop, screen real estate may be a
problem with top.)
