What can I learn from it ? KDE apps in general seem to use a lot of graphic contexts and a lot of "wins". Is this a actually a problem ? If yes, how can this be improved ? Or is it all deep inside Qt ? konqy uses some of pixmap memory, xmms uses much more, OOo writer seems to use less. I guess the pixmap memory s used for the icons ? Anything else ? (styles, images in html pages, ...)
