(tm). On my machine, a fully started KDE (which takes 30 seconds but I do it once a day, if at all, so I don't care) including a couple Konqueror windows eats just about as much memory as *TWO* Netscape windows, without all the fluff around them. So, yes, KDE is slow to start up, but that's because LOTS of stuff is being done at startup time that (sometimes) doesn't have anything to do with KDE itself. e.g. scanning for Netscape plugins, pre-loading X libraries, etc. Start Konqueror under another WM, e.g. icewm (it needs to start up kdeinit, so the first time will be slower) and notice its mem requirements then. -- " ...screams erupted at a Seattle hotel where Microsoft founder Bill Gates was addressing an education and technology conference.
