Try switching to a virtual console and back.

Another thing is to check for apps with memory leaks. Once in top, use m
to sort by memory usage. If you see another application, usually a web
browser for me, using a lot of memory, quit that application. Normally
when this happens for me X is also using a lot of memory.
Usually quitting whatever application gets X to also release the extra
resources and everything's fine again.
Looks like what you're experiencing isn't due to heavy memory usage, but
maybe that'll help anyway.
