Setup:  Decstation 5000/200, Ultrix 4.1, mwm, Xtm2d.

When I start up the X server, it has a process size of approx 2.5
megs.  After I start and stop a few windowed applications, the process
size has grown to 12 Megs.  When it gets to about this size, it
thrashes each time i move a window, as I don't have hundreds of megs
of real RAM.  Something is seriously wrong in my setup I fear.  Does
anyone have any clues?

Probably unrelated, but when I start a dxterm, I get the "mwm: Invalid
icon bitmap, not depth 1" error message on my console.

Any and all help appreciated.
