Heh, and guess what: the people in #kde (irc.freenode.net for example) deny
that it's their fault with the statement "bah, that's shared libraries"!
If that's a lie or not, or a semi-lie, I'm definitely sure THAT libdcop libmcop
and every shitcrap that's running makes it almost impossible to run even on
Duron-800 w/256.

Gnome is no better. (Flamewar: I like ICEWM)

The only thing more bloated is the X server itself when it runs with the
proprietary NV GL core:
