Memory use can be hard to measure. "ps" shows a "hello world" program
on my ubuntu machine at 11MB, but looking at /proc/xx/status I see
that 'only' 810kb have actually been allocated.

If I add a second label and a vbox to hold the two labels, memory use
goes up to 812kb. I guess a chunk of this 2kb is down to the theme
(clearlooks, I think).
