I have just finished running a couple of other X programs without
touching the keyboard and all of them are leaking handles, although not
as extreme as wmaker:
| Program | 17:30 | 21:59 | 07:17 | 18:26 |
|-----------+-------+-------+-------+--------|
| xemacs | 62553 | 63176 | 66218 | 125519 |
| fvwm | 27075 | 30741 | 39327 | 55344 |
| FvwmPager | 6279 | 6972 | 8544 | 12009 |
| rxvt | 2216 | 2882 | 5510 | 9044 |
| mrxvt | 1664 | 2219 | 2246 | 2738 |
An old cygwin installation where I haven't updated Xorg yet doesn't show
this behavior.
So it really looks like some X lib is the culprit.
Ciao
