My experience with gnome (on redhat 6.0) was that it initially ran fine,
but after a few days, it felt really sluggish. I don't think the memory
usage was the culprit, since free showed I still had many free memory
available. I recalled some article claimed imlib was the main reason for
this problem. Is this true?
