I haven't experienced this yet. Which process is eating up memory? Are
there messages from the OOM killer in dmesg or /var/log/messages?

There are no messages in dmesg or /var/log/messages. I have 4Gb of memory in
my machine and after logging on about 1.2Gb is used. This slowly increases up
to about 3.95Gb and then sort of hovers around about that point. Swap doesn't
get used. However, if I leave the machine for any period of time the screen
goes blank (power saving kicks in) and then there is no way to get it back out
of that situation (that I've found) other than to either reboot or restart
kdm. The screensaver is not running if I do a process list on the console
which continues to work fine. Restarting kdm freezes some of the memory but by
no means all of it. If it goes into power saving mode before the memory is all
consumed it comes out of it again just fine. X is not freezing as mail
continues to be collected by the running kontact.

Attached are screenshots of top immediately after booting and the next morning
when X just gives me a blank screen. The first list is sorted by virtual memory
size, the second by memory usage (RES).
