X, (big )problem

I guess this would be the correct place to post this...

I have been using Archlinux for a while now, without problems...  Well, now I have a problem, and I don't know how to fix it.  It seems that X is creating many extra pixmaps during idle.  At first I thought it was an error with one of my projects (I do some X programming), but I eliminated this by rebooting followed by letting it run overnight without any of my apps running.  I woke to find all of my memory (1 gig) eaten by X and around 300 megs of my swap.  I then decided to downgrade my graphics driver (fglrx) no luck.

The xrestop reply is:

etc etc etc......

I really hope someone can help me with this. T_T

Oh, and if anyone has older than fglrx 8.35.5-1 in their cache I would like to try to downgrade further.

Re: X, (big )problem

Found it.  Caused by automatically updating the background with Esetroot.
