It's still pulling in many GNOME libs and apps. Even AbiWord sucks
in many GNOME libs.
Better, IMHO, to stick with, _at_the_heaviest_, XFce and GTK2 apps.
Is there *any* "nice" semi-lightweight WP that doesn't consume mass

Word Perfect 6.0, that use GTK2 and work well on 300MHz machines.
Doesn't even have to interpret MSFT files.
