Hello, this is really not a question but more of an answer in case any of you 
run into this situation. 

whenever i am running kde after a few days plasma-desktop grows to take well 
over 1gb ram and 1gb swap and kwin over around 500Mb and i have to restart x.
recently i started an application in console that i need to run for a few 
days(if not weeks). but like i said plasma-desktop and kwin were taking so much 
memory the system became extremely unresponsive.

well here is the solution i have found:

for kwin(kinda obvious but i didn't think of it at first):

kwin --replace &

plasma-desktop:
kquitapp plasma-desktop && sleep 20s && plasma-desktop &

if plasma desktop doesn't start  wait for a few more seconds and type 
plasma-desktop&

other than that this is imo a huge bug that needs fixing. 
if anyone has any other way of making plasma-desktop ,kwin and also xorg take 
much less memory then please share.

p.s.: firefox is another memory hog too. but i couldn't find any solution(i've 
even tried a custom compiled firefox.
