Hi,

I noticed (thanks to cppcheck) a number of possible leaks in xorg-server.

I have tried to manually verify each of them and produce a possible
plug for them.  I haven't actually used the changes here and would
appreciate someone with more knowledge of Xorg-server's internals
having a look at them (hench the lack of a "patch" tag).

cppcheck do find a few more leaks than the ones I have listed, but
some were false-positives and a few of them I wasn't sure how to deal
with.
