Re: Nautilus prcesses not closing

[Manfred Murer <maillists manfred homeip net>]

This your explanation sounds plausible. But there's still the question why 
the available memory is reduced by more than 32 MB after Nautilus got 
started. BTW this already happens with the desktop (when set to be shown with 
Nautilus). The empty Gnome session with X11, sawfish, Crux Theme and two 
panels with 3 capplets takes about 220 MB of RAM. Once I load OpenOffice the 
kernel starts to swap because the 256 MB are gone for good :-(
