To follow up on my own posting, I wonder if I am running out of "low
memory", even though plenty of "high memory" is available.  Running just
my usual desktop basics of Thunderbird + Firefox on KDE4, "free -lm"
shows:

b...@gecko2:/var/log$ free -lm                       
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:          2004       1956         47          0         79       1375
Low:           849        803         46                                 
High:         1154       1152          1                                 
-/+ buffers/cache:        501       1502                                 
Swap:            0          0          0    

So high mem is completely full, but 1501MB can be evicted as it is
cache.  Low mem has only 46MB free and nothing can be evicted there.

Starting another couple of apps pushes me over the edge and low memory
is exhausted.

I wonder how I can mitigate this?  I am not running a heavy workload.
