Virtualbox casuses Xorg to leak memory on host — at Initial Version

Description
I've noticed that after running a VM in full screen for an hour or so and switching back and forth from the VM to the host (possible cause?) many times, Xorg on the host is using over 1GB of memory. Guest OS does not seem to matter. Host is Kubuntu 16.04 using the Nvidia graphics driver.
Steps to reproduce
- Start up a VM in full screen mode (guest addons were installed in my tests)
- Minimize the VM several times (~25-50 times?)
- After a while Xorg on the host will be using a lot of memory (>1GB on my system which has 8 GB of RAM)
