It gets even more interesting.  After installation, I dropped the F28 VM's
memory allocation back down to 1 GB.  I have a bunch of other Linux VMs
(Debian, OpenSUSE, RHEL, etc.) that all run comfortably in 1 GB, so why not
F28?  The VM was extremely sluggish when I booted it up.  Sure enough, it
was swapping.  I shut it down, gave it 2 GB again, and now it boots up
quite snappily.  It appears that, with a default GNOME install, just
logging in one user eats more than 1 GB.  Here are all of the processes
that require more than 2% of the RAM:

The resident size of those processes adds up to 1161988 KB.  There's our 1
GB.  And I haven't even run anything I want to run yet.
