Go into /proc for some of those gnash's, and see what file descriptors
they have open.  If you find one with fifty connections to the X server,
you've found a bug... 

Some web pages bring in NUMEROUS dumb little flash movies, for simple
animations and navigation and such.  Thus you might have ten copies of
gnash running -- but each one should only take up one or two connections
to the X server.
