That's not the largest problem. Other things in a normal desktop take up more space (python apps like hplip, ubiquity, printer applet). The gnome libs issue is a problem too, just not the largest. The best way to solve this is looking into removing libgnome dependencies from such apps instead of putting in immature or unmaintained ones instead. This 2.22 GNOME cycle two of my patches were included upstream, they get rid of libgnome in gucharmap and network-manager and if time permits I'll look into others too. If you wish to improve memory consumption, picking an included gnome app and sending a patch upstream is the best way to help. Whining about app choices is not productive and won't get us anywhere. There are plenty such apps, they were mentioned in past threads. So anyone willing to help please consider helping out with code instead of endlessly debating this.
