Have you tried weyland yet to see if it is any improvement? I think fedora has a build running weyland. (memory is fuzzy on this one.)

So this seems to be a big problem for me, in that it simply refuses to open new apps, and find this happens more and more these days. Am I like the only actual person to use linux these days that this occurs with?

I've seen reports of this, stating it's a hard-coded thing in xorg code, which I find entirely asinine, but seems a reality when using Chrome/Chromium that launches some 300 flocks on various things, and blows out the 256/512 client count on xorg.  I find this almost stupid, and feel I'm back to the days of windoze me having to reboot every other day.

Reality is I have 3 chrome profiles open, some pdfs, libreoffice, some chrome apps, some file manager windows (dolphin/kde), and not much else.  Sort of want to punch someone in the face when I see this - someone is obviously doing something wrong, and really can't see why.  All I can ever think is really, am I the only person that really "uses" a linux desktop to see these?

Uninstalling pepperflash, or any flash vermin, seems to have done some good, no longer causing a persistent memory leak in xorg/fglrx drivers, but otherwise chrome|chromium still seems an absolute basketcase under linux, forgetting there are resource limits they should consider adhering to.
