Yeah, but will that get me down to the sort of sizes kdrive will? There's 
probably a reason DSL uses it as the default windowmanager.

True, but I just use it as a guide to find the biggest programs, so I can try 
to find smaller replacements. I'm running in 128MB RAM, with 4 to memory. I'm 
going to upgrade it, but I see no reason to waste memory on 320MB either :)
