There was a time when it didn't restart, then a few releases back it was
decided that it should. I for one am happier the way it is now because
my X server definitely leaks memory quite severely. I posted about this
a while back (see
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2008-September/msg00036.html) but got no reaction. The problem is quite solid and reproducible. I was holding off reporting it to BZ in case any of the pending updates fixed it but they haven't.
