    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
