Public bug reported:

After loging into XFCE environment, I see with "top" that /usr/share
/system-config-printer/applet.py consumes 22MB of physical memory, just
behind X.

Most of the time, the printer applet does nothing and thus wastes
memory.

I think that this applet should be implemented with a compiler which
create a binary executable instead of writing a python script or python
byte code which will never reach the performances of a binary executable
(speed and memory).
