plasma memory/pixmap leak ?

Hi,

first, I thought I should post to a plasma specific mailing list, but could not find it.
On KDE's hompage the "mailing list" page http://www.kde.org/support/mailinglists/ was reduced to just 4 lists or so...
Any hint where to find all others ?

Now to the point:
I'm using 4.5 beta1 and see that over time plasma-desktop increases in memory usage in the X Server.
xrestop -b shows after login:
0 - plasma-desktop ( PID:19300 ):
        res_base      : ox1e00000
        res_mask      : ox1fffff
        windows       : 71
        GCs           : 49
        fonts         : 1
        pixmaps       : 703
        pictures      : 716
        glyphsets     : 25
        colormaps     : 0
        passive grabs : 0
        cursors       : 3
        unknowns      : 59
        pixmap bytes  : 74810458
        other bytes   : ~23176
        total bytes   : ~74833634

and after some hours

0 - plasma-desktop ( PID:19300 ):
        res_base      : ox1e00000
        res_mask      : ox1fffff
        windows       : 70
        GCs           : 53
        fonts         : 1
        pixmaps       : 1838
        pictures      : 1841
        glyphsets     : 30
        colormaps     : 0
        passive grabs : 0
        cursors       : 4
        unknowns      : 99
        pixmap bytes  : 98498638
        other bytes   : ~51352
        total bytes   : ~98549990

Is it normal that the number of pixmaps/pictures increases that much ?
(Even when I close all apps except konsole)

Also /proc/19300/status shows for memory:
VmPeak:   348372 kB
VmSize:   346992 kB
VmLck:         0 kB
VmHWM:    108032 kB
VmRSS:     40952 kB
VmData:    79608 kB
VmStk:        84 kB
VmExe:        40 kB
VmLib:     85816 kB
VmPTE:       348 kB

and from top

19077 root      20   0  709m  96m 5716 S    3  4.9  33:08.71 Xorg                                         
19300 koller    20   0  338m  40m  13m S    0  2.0   4:40.45 plasma-desktop

Anybody else sees this problem ?
If so, I'll create a bko entry.
