The older traces I studied were dominated by the poorly designed gconf system and the even more badly designed theme code. Simply packing the themes using a trivial library I wrote reduced the cost of theme loading to almost zero and reduced gnome memory usage by about 2MB/app Perhaps Havoc can update on the state of the themes and gconf code Alan -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
