Hi. I have writen (or copied) a simple example for a gtk trayicon. Looking it with gnome-system-monitor it shows 20.4Mb of virtual Memory. 5.9Mb of resident memory. 1.6 Mb of "writable memory" 4.4 Mb of writable memory. 1.7 Mb in the Memory Column The compiled size is only 8 kbytes. How can i really know how much memory is my program using, i think that it should be just a few kb plus the size of some gtk variables and never 1.6 Mb since the gtk libs are shared. The code is as follows and is copied from a blog somewhere finding with google. /* simple.c */ // Compile with: // gcc `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0 glib-2.0 gthread-2.0` simple.c -o simple #include <gtk/gtk.h> void tray_icon_on_click(GtkStatusIcon *status_icon, gpointer user_data) { printf("Clicked on tray icon\n"); } void tray_icon_on_menu(GtkStatusIcon *status_icon, guint button, guint activate_time, gpointer user_data) { printf("Popup menu\n"); } static GtkStatusIcon *create_tray_icon() { GtkStatusIcon *tray_icon; tray_icon = gtk_status_icon_new(); g_signal_connect(G_OBJECT(tray_icon), "activate", G_CALLBACK(tray_icon_on_click), NULL); g_signal_connect(G_OBJECT(tray_icon), "popup-menu", G_CALLBACK(tray_icon_on_menu), NULL); gtk_status_icon_set_from_icon_name(tray_icon, GTK_STOCK_MEDIA_STOP); gtk_status_icon_set_tooltip(tray_icon,"Example Tray Icon"); gtk_status_icon_set_visible(tray_icon, TRUE); return tray_icon; } int main(int argc, char **argv) { GtkStatusIcon *tray_icon; gtk_init(&argc, &argv); tray_icon = create_tray_icon(); gtk_main(); return 0; } Thanks in advance.
