Yes, but I have reduced memory use by 1gb so far which is pretty cool. > That's in contrast > to Xnewt where you have one per user session. Yep, it is a bit frustrating that all the xnewts show up in monitor as root processes so I can't see why some use a lot more memory than others. I don't really know what xnewt does but I saw it's options included font directories which is why I wondered about getting rid of some fonts I never use. > There's a lot more to be gained by attacking the > user session.

While it would be good to improve memory useage of all this stuff I had simply started on what seemed a really obvious hog. Generally RAM is not a problem (although I do need to get the kids to close down firefox every couple of days to free up it's waste).
