I had a look at Gnome at the beginning of the year and thought it was
too buggy to bother with. Since upgrading to 6.1 the other week I
thought I'd check it out again. It's a lot more stable but I was
HORRIFIED to see how much memory it consumes. There are *applets* that
take up more memory then the whole of WindowMaker (my wm of choice).
Is there any good reason for this bloat? I mean, this PC has 64MB of
memory and the same amount of swap but simply running Gnome with a few
useful applets leaves little room. That's worse than Windows.
I usually compile from source but I just bunged the i386 binaries in.
Could I reduce the size of things by compiling from the source rpms?
