The important thing is that library code is not shared. If you have a GTK2 program that is statically linked, yes multiple processes of the same program will share code in memory, but all that GTK2 code will be pulled in just for those processes. Other processes using the GTK2 libraries will have their own seperate copy of the library in memory. -Roberto -- Roberto C. Sanchez http://familiasanchez.net/~roberto
