I noticed the same thing awhile ago. I thought it was the 24 vitual desktops that I have in fvwm2 (seriously). Then I thought it was related to doing a "restart fvwm2" after tweaking my menus. X would regularly climb up to 18MB. I was just about to buy more memory when I upgraded to the latest libc 5.4.7. Now, with the same config it hasn't gone above 10MB yet, but I haven't done any serious testing. I do recall reading somewhere that a benefit of the newest libc is that it can now give freed memory back to the system. I'm guessing that I'm seeing this feature. -- ...RickM... -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
