Here comes glxinfo | grep renderer
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) 945GME GEM 20090114 x86/MMX/SSE2

Here comes the /proc/$PID/status. What is the significant value that one
needs to retain for the discussion?

Cody: for the memory foot print, my point is that the notify-osd should not
range in the top consumers. As stated before, after recent update, the top
reported a reduction from 29MB to 17MB, but it's still in the top list.
