XFree leaking memory?

[Harold L Hunt II]

Konstantin,

Are you using the ``-rootless'' command-line parameter?  If so, the 
developer of that feature mentioned that there was a memory leak and 
that he was working on fixing it.  If not, then we might need to look 
into your problem as a previously unknown problem.
