I have noticed the X server leaking for a long time, unfortunately I haven't
been able to track it down yet.
Beware though that at least part of what you see could be client leaks as the
X server stores lots of resources on behalf of clients. What happens if you
log out and back in (current display managers shouldn't restart the X server
in that case unless you explicitly configure them to)?

If this only occurs in high resolutions, it's a known problem which the
GATOS project seems to have fixed in their drivers.
