Thanks for pinging me on this bug. I recently restarted into
xserver-xorg-core version 2:1.7.7-10 and it runs for a bit more than two
weeks now. Now top reports 63M resident and xrestop reports 42M pixmap
memory. The difference between these values being 23M is now plausible
and far lower than previously observed values (50M to 100M). Also the
total memory usage of Xorg is also far lower than previously observed
(up to 200M and heavily swapped out). So first of all this is a great
improvement. On the other hand it might mean that it is just leaking
slower or that I currently do not trigger the leaks. Personally my
threshold for complaining is around 100M, so I'm fine. :-)
