Oh no, we really have no bad feelings about gnome (afaik). Thing is,
we share gtk+ with gnome and gtk+ has grown quite a lot recently, so
the amount of (shared) memory used by every process may also have
grown. But that's the price to pay to benefit from all the facilities
provided by gtk+. There is no such thing as "light" actually, it's
always a balance between functionalities, memory and speed.

Cheers,
Olivier.
