X11 seems unlikely. Memory leaks *are* possible (but unlikely) depending on
what you have in your xmonad.hs.

(For what it's worth, xmonad isn't even visible on my machine if I sort top
by virtual process size. But it's only been running for a couple days
thanks to system updates. I don't use xmobar since I run xmonad under xfce.)
