That is not good news. So it appears that fluxbox, even newer ones, and Xvesa, even with a newer version, the issue of a memory leak remains.

- Perhaps first we could have a look at which versions of fluxbox and k-drive I could try out. At present I am using the version of fluxbox that comes with dsl-3.4.2 and the k-drive from xfree-4.6 Are there more up to date versions that I could try out that make sense in the context of dsl?

Too me, this is a show stopper. I am inclined to remove something that would cause a system failure and therefore possible data loss.

- I take your point, but on the other hand I only noticed for this for the first time a few days ago after using dsl for 2.5 years and after 38d uptime. At the moment, the memory leak has stopped again (at 40,686k) - I wonder if firefox is somehow involved in this?

Would dfferent gtk+ theming make any difference, or has that got nothing to do with it?

I last had JWM looking kind of like the blueglass theme for fluxbox with a cyan/grey gradient and white letters for active over a medium grey menu background and black letters on the menu.

OT:
Hi lucky13,

I mentioned in the icon look and feel thread that you've been playing with BlueGlass for JWM.

There's Xfree 4.7.0; And Xorg has improved the Kdrive servers even more. Though they only mention screen & input hotplugging in 7.3, I'm sure they have fixed other things too.. Just not sure if this is something X can fix, if it's a fluxbox/firefox bug..

There's fluxbox 0.9.14 in the uci section..

- I'm trying things now with opera rather than firefox - no leak so far...

The version of fluxbox in DSL is very old. But it has stayed because  of its size versus functionality. There have indeed been posts about firefox instantly closing. Normally we just answer "you ran out of memory", when it could be the memory leak issue. I know many in the community like fluxbox. It is just my high standards that are currently in the way. It is something that I cannot go in and fix the code. I will let the community try a few more things before any decision is made.
