Anybody ever notice how HUGE these monsters are ? Over 1Mb !! Same with
dxsession and dxterm and
most other tools. You just need to open only a few of these windows and
my VaxStation 3100 begins
to thrash. I have also run into "calloc: can't allocate memory" problems
because of insufficient
swap space ( and I have close to 30 Meg ). I just couldn't stand it
anymore and went back to
uwm and xterm, even though I liked the look-and-feel of dxterm better.
