Hello there, Kris!

xrestop - Display: localhost:0
          Monitoring 24 clients. XErrors: 0
          Pixmaps:    5876K total, Other:     147K total, All:    6024K total

it looks exactly as described, if I will do something memory consuming
under X (compilation for example) - this goobal will grow very fast
