Since iceweasel went with GTK-2.0 (along with other gtk apps), the
memory hogging difference between GTK and KDE has pretty much gone out
the window. Then when you add the memory leak in the GTK on Etch it
becomes more memory efficient to use KDE apps (especially for apps that
you hope to keep running for any length of time).
