after GNOME login, with gnome-terminal and gedit started:
$ free
total used free shared buffers
cached
Mem: 248168 239816 8352 0 8012
108060
-/+ buffers/cache: 123744 124424
Swap: 514072 0 514072
The top apps listed in GNOME system monitor (clearer than "top" for me)
sorted by Resident Memory are:
nautilus (16.5m), gnome-panel, mixer-applet (14.8m!), gedit,
gnome-system-monitor, gnome-terminal (12.7mb, a single tab),
wnck-applet, nm-applet, gnome-session, clock-applet (9.6mb!), metacity
(9.2mb).
Started firefox (28mb in g-system-monitor)
$ free

Started totem on a video file: 54.6mb !
swap usage >0 now:
$ free

So it looks like totem does have a problem, but some of the applications
listed shows quite a high memory usage too, is it normal?
Thanks,
Marius
