When you open a new "kitty" window, nothing special happens (as you would expect), however when you close the window VRAM usage increases by varying amount, depending on the size of the window.

I've noticed this issue when looking at another issue with increasing VRAM caused by NVIDIA.

The issue could be unrelated, since someone mentioned something similar happening on AMD, however since I don't have an AMD card, I can't test it.

Tested with (positively):

• Niri
• Cosmic

Tested and not impacted:

• River
• Hyprland
• Sway
