Maybe a better question is: Dominik, what FVWM features consume memory, and at vaguely what rate? I mean here, statements like "a backdrop image for a menu will cost you XxYx(native X11 bytes-per-pixel)" * "per menu"/"per use"/"per ...". Little rules of thumb like that, not so much to locate leaks but to give the byte-thrifty user an idea of how much penatly they're incurring with their decorations/styles etc. -- Cameron Simpson, DoD#743 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.zip.com.au/~cs/ You need a brain the size of a melon to take it [the Isle of Man TT course] all in and one the size of a walnut to actually race it. - Peter Salmon -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL: http://www.fvwm.org/>.
