Every one of those uptimes was with X running the entire time on a Dell
Latitude CPx. Some were under XFree86, others Xorg. Some were with 128Mb
Ram, others 196Mb. So by your hypothosis of a major X leak costing 50Mb a day
I'd not have anything over, say, 5 days before I'd be so pissed to reboot.
Maybe it is something you run in X but I doubt it is X itself.
