$ apt-cache rdepends libx11-6|wc -l

2237 x 40k = 90MB
Some non X11 based application like mutt could have a screenshot too but we
won't have 15 000 pixmaps.
Tarball is a good solution for people who don't have an Internet connexion but
some space on theirs hard drive. The tarballs will be copied from the
CD/DVDROMs.
If you have a connexion to a pixmap repository you won't have to feed a local
cache. A slow connexion is enouch too retrieve 40kb pictures.
