I've seen X eat 7 GB of address space (no, I am not kidding), apparently 
related to plasma, but killing plasma didn't help; I had to kill X. I'd 
rather see Qt learn to reconnect apps when X dies, and not protect X, 
since X is sometimes the problem.

(FTR, I believe this is a bug in nvidia's cra^H^H^Hdrivers, not plasma.)
