As I have to stick my nose in to Qt sources from time to time nowadays I got the firm impression that the Trolls don't make much of an effort to keep X traffic low. This is usually no real problem when you run X server and clients locally, but it is a real problem with the traditional setup. I wouldn't be surprised if Ctk played in the same league. Andre'
