After running xscreensaver on my Debian Jessie system with XFCE, the
number of "unknown" X clients listed in xrestop grows until I get
"Maximum number of clients reached" when trying to start a new
application. I usually takes a few days from when I start X to when I
get the "Maximum number..." error. When I don't start xscreensaver, the
problem doesn't occur.
I'm running xscreensaver with the following screensavers enabled:
* Carousel
* GLslideshow
* Photopile
Trying different combinations of those screensavers doesn't fix the
problem.
