[Wylug-help] X Resource Leak

[James Holden]

All,

I have a resource leak in my X server, or some X application I run.

xrestop shows lots of <unknown> clients, each using a connection. The
display looks like shown below.

When the number of clients hits 255, I can't start any more X programs,
I just get "Xlib: Maximum number of clients reached".

I'm running X.org 6.8.1.902 on kernel 2.6.9-gentoo-r1 on an AMD64.

Can anyone shed any light onto this one?

James
