The Shell memory usage is quite correct (there are probably a few leaks,
but nothing terrible), and no app is using much RAM. Actually, I've had
a look at the output of free again, and I think the problem is with the
cache size: 2183MB!

I've experienced this in the past with development versions of X.org
that leaked memory. So I suspect this comes from your video driver, but
I have absolutely no idea how to debug this further. You might ask for
help on #xorg on irc.freenode.org, or file a bug. What's your card
model, for the record? You can try using another one if there's the
choice (e.g. with NVidia Nouveau vs. proprietary), just to check.
