If you're just trying to make X smaller, you'll find that judicious use
of "rm -r" (and "du -sh *") will save you a lot of time. Keep a backup
of everything, in case you mess it up. And note that you'll be bypassing
your package manager. BUT, most of X consists of drivers and fonts which
you probably don't need.
I presume you mean 40MB ?
Also, do you actually mean RAM use or do you mean disk space?
If you meant RAM use, then are you aware that `top` doesn't always give
you a helpful answer to the question "How much RAM is a process using?".
HTH,
