[X Servers] Invisible disk space usage

[Jerome Camus]

Follow-up.

We have determined through the process viewer that LaunchCFMApp seems 
to be the culprit.  It has been seen to shoot up to use 85 % of 
memory capacity.  When it comes down, it effectively does free up 
some apparent space on the boot disk, but not all.

Seems like it enjoys munching 2 GB for the sake of it.  Then it 
stabilizes in its behaviour. But by then, the apps running on top are 
hosed - reporting out ofmemore errors.
