Yes, it _is_ the window server.  Run it with -NXShowAllWindows.  Every time
you drag a card, etc, an offscreen buffer for the card is created, and the
card is drawn in it, but the buffer is never freed.  Thus, the window server
grows and grows and grows. :(  I haven't had time to fix this problem myself,
but I know that that is the problem.  If anyone _does_ fix it, let me know
before you post it to sonata, because I _have_ made a colorized version, and
would like to include the color support in the fixed version.  If you wait
long enough, I'll fix it myself anyway. :)  (The colorized version required
new .tiffs and a change to the pswrap that draws the stoplights; simple
changes, really.)
