xrestop and Amarok's pixmap usage

Ahoy,

Thiago gave me the tip to try "xrestop" (tool for showing X-Server
memory usage), as I was wondering what's making my X-Server use so
much memory. The result is a bit worrying:


res-base Wins  GCs Fnts Pxms Misc   Pxm mem  Other   Total   PID Identifier
1600000    86    3    0  170  613    21490K     16K  21507K 10785 kwin
2c00000    33    4    0  323  455    14912K     11K  14924K 26552
Telemann - Tafelmusik 1 Em  ::  Amarok


So, Amarok uses a huge amount of pixmaps. I suppose it could be
interesting to check sometime if we can reduce this amount a bit, if
we want to conserve resources...
