Leak is still present in 2.6.33.3 - the more GUI activity the more it leaks.
So the ~512 objects per second was with xosview running, but moving windows or
browsing through menus can leak a lot more (per second).

Is version of userspace drm library interesting? It is 2.4.20
(libdrm-2.4.20-12.1.x86_64).
