Gnome has the advantage of using libraries that are often used outside of Gnome-specific programs, which I meant to imply should mean that there is a tendency away from needing as much code specific to Gnome. I'm also leaning to implying (but I don't have specific documentation) that it would involve less total memory required for comparable programs of Gnome versus KDE when called upon outside of their normal environment, but with typical selection of common user programs running (which involves implying *A LOT* - I should have typed a lot more there,) as other gtk applications would be more likely amongst that collection, particularly with Mozilla turning to gtk now. -- Mark L.
