I do have native TCL installed as well, but I am not really running anything locally. The only client I run is a Linux Konsole window launched by an SSH command. Once I have a remote terminal, I launch my simulation tool (ModelSim). I watch the resources using windows Task Manager.
Do you think that ModelSim or Konsole are eating up resources? Although, even when I quit those programs, until I close XWin.exe, the resources are not freed!
Well, how about approaching the problem methodically?
If you boot up and just start the X server, do you see these leaks?
Does starting you X client (Konsole via ssh) cause these leaks?
Does starting your TCL application cause these leaks?

My Windows XP USER and GDI object counts, for process XWin.exe, keep going

need to reboot to be able to work again.
How are you measuring these object counts?
It's unclear from what you write if you have any X clients connected to your X server while the leak is occurring.
It's interesting that, from your cygcheck output, you seem to have a native TCL installed, as that has been mentioned previously associated with some source of resource leak problem (see [1]), although I've never been able to reproduce it.
