Re: KDE 2.1 memory issue



1. Please upgrade to KDE 2.2 as KDE 2.1 had some nasty bugs.

2. I really don't know how do you measure your memory usage. top / ps - is 
not good if you check for example how much X takes (the number that you see 
on ps/top with X running is actually X + your video memory + fonts server + 
other stuff - so it's misleading)

3. At my last job - people had machines with 256MB, with 8 virtual desktops 
full of apps running (5-8 browsing windows, kdevelop, 10 konsole shells [not 
session], etc) and it barely touched the swap memory.
