Summary:                    Running xfdesktop to switch background eats memory
Description: 
Note: this is in cvs build from 6/5/2004

Steps to reproduce:
-Run xfdesktop to change your background to the next on your list, then
run ps -aux, the usage of /usr/X11R6/bin/X will go up by about 1.5-2 megs
every time you run xfdesktop.
-Alternately, just open the Desktop Settings menu and change your
background, the same behavior seems to result.

I noticed this because I have a key combination set to cycle backdrops
(via xfdesktop). I was cycling through backdrops and saw my memory usage
meter climbing up toward 90% when it is usually around 30%.
