Lately I had noticed that one of my machines - I have three, all on Mint
20.2 - was running after a day or two out of memory - and investigation
seemed to show Xorg was the culprit.

All have different video hardware.

Has there been a bug fix - new Xorg software arrived from upstream today...

Hmm. Doesn't really look like any of those is a memory leak.
I'll upgrade the one that seems to have the leak, to the latest, and see...
