I have the same issue
I am running RH9 with the KDE desktop I have 368mg of RAM and I run KDE
system gaurd to monitor the system and the memory just keeps increasing
like thier is a leak or that it is not being released back to the system
after a program is closed it gets to the point were programs wont even
open anymore and I have to reboot this usually takes about 8 days
