GNOME is a distributed system with many components. You can choose to
use a lot or just a few of these components, and a varying number at
any given time.
What is your goal in determining the "memory requirement" of gnome?
If you are aware of the GQM model of determining metrics, it can help
you here. Basically, first choose a _G_oal. Once you know what your
goal is you can make a _Q_uestion that will tell you if you have
reached that goal or not. Then you can determine a _M_etric that will
answer your question. To apply it here, if your goal is to determine
if you have enough memory in your system right now, then state how
much memory you have and ask "will I be able to use gnome comfortable
with this much memory or will the system tend to thrash?".

How to shoot yourself in the foot with Java:
You find that Microsoft and Sun have released imcompatible class
libraries both implementing Gun objects. You then find that although
there are plenty of feet objects implemented in the past in many other
languages, you cannot get access to one. But seeing as Java is so cool,
you dont care and go around shooting anything else you can find.
