</div>Oh no, we really have no bad feelings about gnome (afaik). Thing is,<br>
we share gtk+ with gnome and gtk+ has grown quite a lot recently, so<br>
the amount of (shared) memory used by every process may also have<br>
grown. But that's the price to pay to benefit from all the facilities<br>
provided by gtk+. There is no such thing as "light" actually, it's<br>
always a balance between functionalities, memory and speed.<br>
