You cannot restart the X server without disconnecting the running X11
clients, i.e. killing your session.

But X11 resources are allocated by the Xserver on behalf of the clients.

Have you checked if it's not just an X11 client allocating (i.e. leaking)
resources?

The command "xrestop" should give you an indication of how much of
resources each X11 client has allocated.

If that's the case, killing/restarting just that client would suffice…
