Hey,
Tell me if anyone else can reproduce this problem: I'm running XDarwin in Rootless mode, with Blackbox, and 4 Virtual Screens. Only when I'm in Rootless mode (as opposed to full screen) switching from screen to screen uses about 2 megs of RAM (watching the VSize in TOP). After about 100 to 200 switches, XDarwin is taking up 560 Megs of Ram, and becomes dog slow. Any advice or have I found a major memory leak in XDarwin?

Repport this to the Xdarwin team/ XonX project. But before that, try another window manager and see if the problem still occurs, the problem might be in balckbox after all.
