Please be more specific with regards to what "attempted to run GNOME"
really means. I'm writing this from Evolution with a 3 GB local
mailstore and while not hugely pleasant it works at least. I've also got
a terminal running and xchat along with the normal panel and nautilus.

I guess I could easily free up some more memory if I went with a
non-translucent panel and a fixed color background instead of this huge
image I have there now. That and a slimmer evolution would make things
absolutely workable IMO.
All in all I was pleasantly surprised by this. I had expected much worse
behaviour after reading your message ;-)
