Gnome itself may not be the hog, but the applications for it have the propensity
to use libs and toolsets from many sources (not just GTK). This has the effect
of loading a whiole slew of libs if you plan to actually run any apps in Gnome, as

I'm not religious, and I don't use KDE either (don't know where you got that from),
I run BlackBox. :-) I was simply stating that I have no intention of running Gnome
to solve my probs, and my reasons why not. This was meant to filter any responses
that were not relevant to my situation, no other reason.
It was also not meant to actually be a point of discussion
