Copy pasting in the app itself is uglier imho than having another egg 
module. The latter would at least be co-maintained by those who need it 
and easier to sync among apps using it.

These are the functions I remember needing to c/p for being (partially) 
independent of libgnomeui in various programs:

* gnome_help_display() - replaced by g_spawn_xxx
* gnome_url_show() - ditto
* gnome_password_dialog (ex: in gnome-mount), repaced by a 4 file copy 
paste from libgnomeui
* various gnome_vsf URI functions which have glib equivalents (ex: in 
gnome-system-tools)

And there is the new eggsmclient module which I have tried but not yet 
submitted patches to any module. (Which regardless of whether keeping 
XSMP or dropping it is the best idea for the future it helps lessen this 
memory usage problem)

Also there are other uses of libgnomeui APIs with gtk equivalents but 
have not yet been switched.

Almost any module maintainer will surely find at least some such bits in 
his/here code.
