Yes, I believe there is something amiss and it's probably related to WebKit
because Safari also has a tendency to bloat in memory. When I created a new
user, and left the widgets running there, they don't bloat.

Unfortunately, there seems to be nothing I can do about it short of starting
from scratch, which I'm not going to do. Because my Tiger build is 8D37, I
cannot install the combo update. So I'm just waiting for 10.4.3 to be
released in the hopes it will solve the problem. But if anyone has any
advice (other than fresh install) let me know.
