I have seen this before when people leave x-windows on the clients running
for a while.  apparently the program X tends to "grow" its amount of
swapspace.  Having the clients shutdown and restart x-windows periodically
seems to help.

I have no information on the source of this anomalous behavior, nor the
state of any efforts to get it "fixed."
