This bug was present in wheezy and persists in jessie. It was previously reported under Bug#725116. The behavior manifests when using XDMCP, but is not strictly related to KDE alone, becasue it is not present in a fresh install of the operating system from a netinst CD. Only after installing several other packages has the behavior mmanifested itself. The memory utilization has grown from 512MB to 4.5G over a period of 2 days.
