I'm prone to suspect that the case is unreleased pixmaps in gaim, which means that gaim allocates memory from the X server with each time it shows a flashy picture, but at the end of the process it doesn't -release- theese from the X server, which means that X has to keep holding them in case another app will want to use it. This is a fairly unpleasant behaviour and probably is a big bug in gaim. Try working normally but without ever starting gaim and see if your system still suffers from theese big memorylossess. //Spider -- begin .signature This is a .signature virus!
