I have now finished the session as it became unbearable. I could not
switch from one Window Manager workspace to other WM
workspace. Swapping grew over 5.3 GB.

After finishing session memory usage came back to normal and I can
start new session.

The link for strace file that I have sent in the previous email has
been updated and is now finished as session has been finished.
