i seem to be having a problem with X and xdm... i got tired of typing
startx all the time, so i pulled xdm out of the original X sources on
expot and built it myself. as far as i can tell it works fine... but
since i started using it, X itself has begun to grow gradually as time
goes by... ie it starts at a normal size of 1.5 or so but has now
grown to be 10 megs... has anyone had this happen? it is kind of
annoying...
this is the line for X from ps:
root 27 18.8 54.6 10176 6224 ? R 12:43 48:56
/usr/X386/bin/X -auth /usr/lib/X11/xdm/A:0-a...
the only other time ive noticed x grow is if i use xv to put a picture
in the root window, but this is much larger, and shouldnt be happening
