Here's a question: what platform are you targeting? What resources does it have? You seem to be surprisingly focussed on memory footprint, but I have to say that I don't think I have *ever* written a GUI program where the application size has dominated the resource usage, and certainly not since working with fltk. The application data and other media is *always* much bigger than the app, I find. I doubt that my experience here is that unusual. So, given that is the case, what is it that you are doing that app size is so very critical? And, remember that premature optimisation is often the biggest problem; have you actually measured any of these things so we can look at some numbers and see just how critical your app size and so forth really are? Maybe we can see ways to make things fit... If you have not even made the measurement, then you are simply wasting your time worrying about it - if you can't measure a problem, then it does not exist!
