Ah, xbmc/kodi seems to be a big reason.
Fired kodi up to catch certain season ending content tonight, and
yeah, took me from 118 xclients before to max after. At least I
got to watch though.
I tried to launch something after moving it to the background, no
launch, no error, just usual telltale signs of brokenness, so
checked...
mb@host:~$ xlsclients -a | sort | wc -l
Maximum number of clients reachedxlsclients: unable to open
display ":0"
0
Thought what changed from an hour ago, nothing more than launching
kodi. Killed it (kill -9 pids, kodi wouldn't die otherwise), and
voila.
mb@host:~$ xlsclients -a | sort | wc -l
118
As usual, probably plugins developed on windoze that doesn't
bother to limit exploit of the os (probably more encouraged by the
nsa). But hey, at least I know I need to yell at someone there to
figure out how to code it and their plugins properly.
Just an fyi.
Side note, this isn't the ultimate evil it seems but a significant
one. Tried to launch a gl-based game last night too, and get
things like sdl() failures to spawn a window, so there's something
else getting run-down over time. Craptastic part is absolutely
nothing errors system-wise, even doing a blanket tail -f on
/var/log/*, hoping something would bark to indicate such. I still
think amd binary drivers are crap.
