Known memory leaks in Xorg 6.8.1?

[Sergei Mutovkin]

I didn't know about xrestop tool... I will check it now. One thing is
that Kylix 3 uses Pascal and compiler is not GCC :(, so some of those
tools might not work.. though I will try and report result.

Thank you it was really blanking, not DPMS, so xset s off work for me - amazing.

It will be very difficult to kill and restart our application since to
get to the screen showing diagrams quite a sequence of clicks is
required....

Kylix 3 uses modified Qt 2.3.0... and TCanvas that we use to draw on
can use any of the classes in Qt, but most probably QCanvas...  I'm
already ivestigating if there is a known bug in Qt of that version
related to pixmaps.
