xfdesktop eating up the memory

Hello

xfdesktop takes a lot of memory. After it has been running for couple of 
hours(3-4h) it usually takes 40% of my memory constantly and it grows ~0.1% 
per minute. I usually kill the process and then restart it. My guess is 
memory leaks.

I started seeing this anomaly about a week ago, but i thought that it'll get 
fixed and just kept updating from the cvs.

If somebody would give some pointers how to profile that process i would 
gladly do that.

I'm running the xfce4 from cvs, i update it daily.
