X server being killed a lot

[Thomas Klausner <tk%giga.or.at@localhost>]

Hi!

When I'm running a bulk build, the X server is a likely victim.

UVM: pid 28091.1 (X), uid 0 killed: out of swap

I'm not really sure why because I have lots of swap.

Swap: 148G Total, 27G Used, 121G Free

And usually there is still lots of pages e.g. in Files, which could be
recovered easily (AFAIU). Why does X have to die?

Memory: 16G Act, 8693M Inact, 10M Wired, 1278M Exec, 8367M File, 1004M Free
