I just fixed a small X resource leak in CVS, but I'm not sure that's
related to the numbers you're getting.  I have not able to induce a leak
of that magnitude.  For instance, even if I create lots of new frames,
closing those extra frames always brings the number of pixmaps allocated
back to its original value.

Could you do some experimentation to see what behavior is causing the
allocation of so many pixmaps?
