May I suggest something that's working nicely for Firefox: we have a special
about:memory page reporting on memory usage; it used to be of little use, but
if you try current Nightly, it's been greatly expanded as a lot of code has
been instrumented to report on all kinds of allocations.

It works great for stuff like the X pixmaps being discussed here, because while
the system is not good at telling you where the allocations come from, the code
sure knows what it's allocating so it's a good place to just instrument. Having
this about:memory page allows us to get much more useful bug reports from
users. So maybe you could do the same in KDE, e.g. a menu entry under Help or a
button in Help->About. Good luck :)
