I've already seen the same question today, about memory being eaten up, and
that too was someone using xfce. The answer was that xfce suffers from memory
leaks.
The thing to do is log out of xfce, restart it, and keep an eye on memory
useage. If it is a memory leak problem, you should initially see hardly any
memory being used, and this will slowly creep up with the passing of time.
