Currently I have the following with gnome & mozilla & oowriter
running: (2 hour uptime) -

So, I'm not sure how to interpret the 184M for OO & 102M for mozilla -
as the total memory usage appears to be 170M (and no swap)

Also - whne 'free' shows a large memory usage - its mostly in
'ext3_inode_cache' - and this memory is released when a big IO job is
started (for eg: rpmbuild --rebuild kernel.src.rpm)

So - I'm not sure if there is a problem with FC3/memory usage.
