xfce4-terminal memory footprint

[Olivier Fourdan]

Hi

I guess it has to do with the use of libvte and other associated libs:

ldd /usr/bin/xfce4-terminal | wc -l
35

Another param that has a direct impact on the memory footprint of the
terminal is the number of saved lines in buffer.

Cheers,
Olivier.
