Comment 4 for bug 173192

I experience the same problem (gutsy, openoffice.org-impress 1:2.3.0-1ubuntu5.3), xorg mem usage at 90% at 1G RAM, and it does not go away when terminating Impress but only after restarting X.

Note that this bug is absolutely critical, since it renders Impress useless for replaying presentations, which is about the only truly indispensable functionality it has. Even rolling back Ubuntu to older versions of Impress would be an improvement (I assume that it worked at some stage?!). For now, I have to switch back to using a PPT output of my tediously prepared talk, and replay it on a Crossover-emulation of PowerPoint.

Please act fast.
