KDE might be in a position to *address* 11G of RAM which might be used for any of a number of reasons - like caching every thumbnail you ever read in the session. 11G addressable out of 16G indicates that efficient use of your memory is being made. What would be the point of having 16G and only ever using say 1G? > So!!

That part doesn't seem to work too well. I get most of my apps back at restart, but on the wrong desktop, and non-kde apps are not remembered. Solution: I never switch the computer off. Desktop just stays running, laptops get suspended. -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com
