can you watch the memory usage as you do these things and try and pin it down 
to exactly what triggers it? e.g. try moving the folderview and see if that 
affects things; but ONLY move the folderview. dont switch desktops, give focus 
to windows, etc. as that will trigger chages in the pager and tasks widget.

then try switching desktops with the pager ... swapping widows, etc...

having an xrestop running in an always-on-top, on-all-desktops konsole window 
can make this all a bit easier to do.

until we track down *some* culprit, it's pretty difficult to start working 
towards a fix.

oh, and does this happen if you use the open source driver?
