Hi Mark, ok, using restest I get the following with ica, when viewing a powerpoint presentation, with a heap of bitmap pictures. X-Resource extension version 1.0 There are 5 clients Client 0 (base = 0x200000, mask = 0x1fffff): 7 resource types WINDOW: 3 GC: 5 FONT: 2 CURSOR: 2 COLORMAP ENTRY: 1 Unregistered resource 22: 1 Unregistered resource 32: 1 Client 1 (base = 0x400000, mask = 0x1fffff): 10 resource types WINDOW: 100 PIXMAP: 71 (750616 bytes) GC: 7 FONT: 5 CURSOR: 4 COLORMAP ENTRY: 1 OTHER CLIENT: 3 PASSIVE GRAB: 48 Unregistered resource 21: 2 Unregistered resource 32: 1 Client 2 (base = 0x600000, mask = 0x1fffff): 3 resource types PIXMAP: 1 (512 bytes) COLORMAP ENTRY: 1 Unregistered resource 32: 1 Client 3 (base = 0x800000, mask = 0x1fffff): 9 resource types WINDOW: 4 PIXMAP: 25 (356372 bytes) GC: 37 FONT: 2 CURSOR: 3 COLORMAP ENTRY: 1 OTHER CLIENT: 1 Unregistered resource 22: 1 Unregistered resource 32: 1 Client 4 (base = 0xa00000, mask = 0x1fffff): 1 resource types GC: 1 I'll just show the pixmap line as the power point show runs. PIXMAP: 33 (1894900 bytes) PIXMAP: 33 (5425556 bytes) PIXMAP: 35 (6385684 bytes) PIXMAP: 36 (7345684 bytes) PIXMAP: 35 (7345556 bytes) PIXMAP: 35 (7345556 bytes) PIXMAP: 35 (7345556 bytes) PIXMAP: 34 (7345428 bytes) PIXMAP: 35 (7345556 bytes) PIXMAP: 35 (7345556 bytes) PIXMAP: 36 (7345684 bytes) PIXMAP: 36 (7345684 bytes) PIXMAP: 36 (7345684 bytes) PIXMAP: 36 (7345684 bytes) PIXMAP: 39 (7346068 bytes) PIXMAP: 41 (6452660 bytes) PIXMAP: 37 (6385940 bytes) PIXMAP: 25 (356372 bytes) doing a PS shows the memory of the XServer Process shows 8456 11276 14096 14108 13168 8456 I tried with rdesktop and get something similar. Ideas?

You can verify that by running restest: http://www.xfree86.org/~mvojkovi/restest.c Be careful! If you run that app you'll want to run it by redirecting the output to a file "restest >& outfile" because it grabs the server and can introduce a deadlock if the terminal is printing the output while restest is running. Restest prints out the number of bytes worth of pixmap memory held on behalf of each client. Restest needs XFree86 4.3 or newer to run. Mark.
