Created attachment 119710 [details] Xorg using 7 GB of memory Changing "color scheme" various times causes Xorg to allocate great amounts of memory - see attached screenshot. Usually Xorg uses about 60 MB. After changing the color scheme four or five times it had allocated more than 7 GB and used up almost all my memory and swap.
