A bug [1] has been opened recently for gnome-power-manager which removes the use of libgnomeui which reportedly makes the applications startup quicker (as about 25 less libraries are loaded) and use a lot less memory. I've not tested this myself, so this may be wildly inaccurate.
Now, while the rest of the patch is hardly invasive, replacing gnome_program_init with gtk_init removes bug buddy support and maybe other stuff I'm not aware of. I think gnome-power-manager needs bug buddy integration, so this might be the killer of this patch. So the real question is, do we really need to load the whole of the giant libgnomeui just to integrate with bug buddy and open a yelp file? Is using libgnomeui essentially cost-free if it's being used by other open programs? Should libgnomeui be chopped into smaller pieces? Am I asking too many questions? :-) Thanks for any feedback, Richard [1] http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=399818 _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
