Sylpheed-claws uses gtk+-1.2 , and I know the pixmap themes in gtk-1,2 were a bit buggy and didn't release RAM as they should at times.

Cleanice should be solid, I've used it here with no problems (both for gtk2 and gkt 1.2 ) geramik was a bit buggy for a while, might have improved since I havent used it. > > > Otherwise I'd suggest playing some with either memprof or valgrind, > > both will take quite some effort though, but should generally prove > > the results fairly well once you've got a clue on what application > > is sucking the RAM. > > well, i dont know 'em... is it "easy" (transparent) to use? i'm a > geek, but not in every sense ;) Nope.

I'm not too up-to-date about multi-protocol clients so I can't recommend any other :/ //Spider -- begin .signature This is a .signature virus! Please copy me into your .signature!
