Done. I missed one cycle, which again got my session killed by OOM 😅
Now I caught this in time. The information was retrieved by:

    (systemctl status sddm && cat /sys/fs/cgroup/system.slice/sddm.service/memory.stat) > ~/Projects/cgroups-mem-leak/"$(date -R)".log

I wasn't sure how to represent it in email, and decided to post a diff
of "before `swapoff -a`" and "after …", to be viewed with `diffr` or
with `perl /path/to/diff-highlight` of git or similar.

Diff follows:
