Mine is sometimes blowing up over 100 megs in only a few hours.  FWIW I
just discovered that gtcd seems to cause this reliably. If it's running
the X server's size steadily increases. So whatever it asks the X server
to do is what the X server doesn't do properly. 

I'm going to try not running gtcd and see if the problem goes away.
