User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686 (x86_64); it-IT; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061010 Firefox/2.0 Build Identifier: Using the library gtk-engines-qt on amd64 xorg-7.1 the X process grows the ram using until to freeze the computer. Example using mozilla-firefox/-bin in a standard kde session without operation (only stanby for kontact and kopete applications) in circa 8 hours it could eat a 1 GB ram and 1 GB swap. If you remove all gtk application, x process couldn't release memory in a short time. The only solution is a x server restart (not only log out). In freeze case only machine restart is possible. /var/log/X.log doesn't write a log line Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open a KDE session (3.5.5) 2. Open a mozilla-firefox session 3. Wait some hours (it depends on available ram) 4. look on console with ps uax|grep X every X minutes Actual Results: freeze. Mouse works, keyboard no. Screen remember its state but it connot update Expected Results: If you remove the library gtk-engines-qt, restart your X server, your system comes back stable # emerge --info Portage 2.1.1-r2 (default-linux/amd64/2006.1, gcc-4.1.1, glibc-2.4-r4, 2.6.18-gentoo-r2 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.18-gentoo-r2 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3000+ Gentoo Base System version 1.12.6 Last Sync: Tue, 05 Dec 2006 21:00:01 +0000 ccache version 2.3 [enabled] app-admin/eselect-compiler: [Not Present] dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7, 2.0.30 dev-lang/python: 2.4.3-r4 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 dev-util/ccache: 2.3 dev-util/confcache: [Not Present] sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.17 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.60 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1-r3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.3.13-r4 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O3 -march=athlon64 -pipe -ftracer" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/gconf /etc/java-config/vms/ /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/web2c" CXXFLAGS="-O3 -march=athlon64 -pipe -ftracer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig ccache distlocks metadata-transfer sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/gentoo/ ftp://ftp.wh2.tu-dresden.de/pub/mirrors/gentoo ftp://mirrors.sec.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de/gentoo/ http://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/gentoo/" LINGUAS="it en de bg pt_BR" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude='/distfiles' --exclude='/local' --exclude='/packages'" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="amd64 3dnowex X a52 aac aalib acpi addbookmarks aim alias alsa arts audiofile autoreplace avi bash-completion bitmap-fonts browserplugin bzip2 bzlib cairo cddb cdparanoia cdr cli connectionstatus contactnotes cracklib crypt cscope cups dbus dga dio directfb divx4linux dlloader dri dv dvb dvd dvdr dvdread elibc_glibc emacs encode exif f77 fam fame fbcon ffmpeg fftw flac flash fortran ftp gadu gdbm gif gpm gtk gtk2 hal highlight history iconv icq id3 ieee1394 imagemagick imlib input_devices_joystick input_devices_keyboard input_devices_mouse input_devices_penmount ipv6 irc isdnlog jack java jikes joystick jpeg justify kde kdeenablefinal kdehiddenvisibility kerberos kernel_linux krb4 lame latex lcms libg++ linguas_bg linguas_de linguas_en linguas_it linguas_pt_BR lirc lirc_devices_serial live lm_sensors lzo mad matroska mbox memlimit mime ming mjpeg mng mono motif mp3 mp4live mpeg mpeg2 mplayer msn mssql mule musicbrainz mysql mysqli ncurses netmeeting nls nomac nowlistening nptl nptlonly nsplugin nvidia objc ogg oggvorbis on-the-fly-crypt openal opengl oscar pam pcre pdf pdflib perl player png posix ppds pppd python qt qt3 qt4 quicktime readline reflection samba sametime sdl sensord session sharedmem skey sndfile sox speex spell spl ssl statistics subtitles svg swat sysfs szip tcltk tcpd test tetex texteffect theora threads tiff tk translator truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev unicode usb userland_GNU userlocales utf8 v4l v4l2 vcd video_cards_nv video_cards_nvidia video_cards_v4l video_cards_vesa videos vorbis webpresence wifi winpopup wsconvert wxwindows x264 xanim xine xinerama xml2 xorg xosd xpm xprint xscreensaver xv xvid yahoo yv12 zlib zvbi" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY
