I could have a look, but I doubt a lot that in my use case it is true. It would mean that some xterms, some with vi + xpdf + firefox + mutt + fluxbox consumes more memory than some gterm + gedit + evince + firefox + evolution (or maybe something lighter I don't know) + gnome I can check, but I doubt so much. Do you want that I check, and in that case do you have an explanation on how to measure the footprints? -- Pat -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
