Is it even possible to find out who owns, > or at least created, this pixmap? It's not one pixmap. It's 22002 pixmaps totalling 133 MBytes, all owned by client 8. That client's base is 0x1200000. You can usually find which client it is by looking at the window ids. Run xwininfo on various windows. The ones that have a Window id that starts with 0x1200000 will be owned by the same client. It looks like that client is creating but never freeing pixmaps.
