I usually don't have swap enabled. The memory usage goes down when I close the apps and switch to a TTY to kill plasma and kwin_x11 (more from closing apps than anything else) but the leaked memory seems to remain.

Note though I only tried this when X was using about 300MB of memory (it starts with about 100). I will try it when the memory usage goes up again to the gigabyte range.

I've never had issues with them. I can try switching, but call me skeptical.
