For whatever its worth, I've had my Linux VNC server take up 90Mb after about 
two weeks of usage. It's only me connecting, and I only have one client 
connected at a time. Basically, increments in memory usage can be seen in top 
as updates are sent when new windows are opened, closed or moved. Wish I knew 
where to look for the leak, but since I don't know how the information is 
used overall in the Xfree server (with or without the VNC changes) I don't 
know where to begin.
