You can recompile everything (well, almost everything) with exception handling
disabled, and KDE will fly with 32MB of RAM (I'm talking about KDE 1.xx,
haven't tried latest KDE2 without Corba).

It's a pity, that all distributions ships KDE 1.xx with exception handling
enabled (and that exception  handling is not used at all)- it gives KDE bad name
of beeing bloated.
