I recently fetched a GTK Aqua-Pixmap theme and recognized that while using it the Xserver process grows bigger and bigger until it swaps out and then it's killed because of using to much memory. How-To-Repeat: Fetch a copy of the Aqua-theme at : http://gtk.classic.themes.org/php/download.phtml?object=gtk.theme.982673335&rev=1.2.x&query=download&server=classic.themes.org Switch your GTK settings to use it and try using a GTK app like xchat for some time while watching the memory usage of the Xserver process, it will definitly grow.
State Changed From-To: open->closed This has been fixed by the patch in PR/37022.
