  well, I have to try, I'll relaunch my X server at home with nv. the
point is the problem is new, and the sole thing that I upgraded since is
the xorg server, not the nvidia driver.

  The problem is fully reproducible (was less important though before),
after 24h my Xorg server always eats more than 18% of my 1Go of RAM.
today was just way too much :|

  I'll keep you posted. But it seems I'm not really the only one in that
case:
