Does anyone else notice that gdm's session takes up 300-400MB of RAM?  I
typically defend GNOME, but this is kind of ridiculous.

Is this really an accurate representation of the amount of memory used? Doesn't this involve shared memory used between other apps using the same libraries?

It's only a fraction of that here:

$ a=0; ps axfu | grep ^gdm| awk '{print $6}' | \
   (while read x ; do a=$(( a + x )) ; done ; echo $a )
1820

$ a=0; ps axfu | grep ^gdm
