Once or twice? It depends a bit on how you define things, but the answer you're probably looking for is "either zero or one times". When you load a shared library the memory actually used is shared not just within the same process, but across all processes using that library. In all likelihood, some other process (like gnome-shell) is already using Clutter and your program using Clutter doesn't require any additional resources. -Evan [1] http://virtualthreads.blogspot.com/2006/02/understanding-memory-usage-on-linux.html ___ vala-list mailing list vala-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/vala-list

In your original example, simply replace "public RedSquare()" with "construct" and it should work as expected. Appreciate that, thanks. I shall read up and hack it thus. A question? In this thread I have "loaded" Clutter (library and whatever else it loads) in Python. I have also included (I am not sure of the wording) Clutter into Vala (by way of the --pkg in valac) to some extent - where I made a Clutter.Actor object. I run Python which loads my library: How many times has Clutter now loaded into memory? Once or twice? Is there some general rule I can learn to understand (or test) this process? (Under Linux) Thanks again, \d ___ vala-list mailing list vala-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/vala-list
