Yup. It's a memory leak of some sort in the window manager. Do a "ps -el"
and take a look at the memory size numbers |

I just killed and restarted wmgr recently, so not much memory has been
consumed so far (I've seen the first number as high as 80 or 90). Let's
see what I get if I kill and restart wmgr again:
1 S 0 20490 1 6 27 20 1e5 6: 12 5af68 w4 0:04 wmgr
Maybe one of the UNIXpc development team out there who have access to
the source code of wmgr can take a look for us. I've just learned to
kill and restart wmgr every 2 or 3 days.
