xfdesktop eating up the memory

[Toomas Römer]

Hello

I left xfdesktop running with valgrind for ~2hours. The command was "valgrind 
--log-file=/home/toomasr/valgrindLOG --leak-check=yes -v xfdesktop" and the 
resulting log file is 
http://toomas.dev.struktuur.ee/img/valgrindLOG.pid25772

I hope this helps.
