I am *not* exagerating. Please look at the attached screenshot for

1. I think eggcups is the process for printing. Why it takes up more
than 40mb memory? On Windows 2000, the spooler printing service takes
up only a little more than 4mb memory and less than 3mb virtual
memory.
2. And, eggcups belongs to my session. I am not familiar with the
terminal concept. I guess if a user logs on thru a dumb terminal,
he/she will get his/her own eggcups; and 40mb memory will reduced from
the server. Is my guess true?
3. If I 'kill nnn', where nnn is the pid of eggcups, it somehow
respawns. How can I stop this? Anyway I don't want printing service
right now, I am just learning programming on Linux.
4. I don't want xscreensaver, because I am running FC3 inside
Microsoft Virtual PC. How to stop it?
5. What is gnome-vfs/esd? Are they a must to for a user session?
Please forgive me if my post aroused some kind of holy debate. I come
from Windows world, it's inevitable for me to compare Linux/FC with
Windows. But I will appreciate very much if someone can help me,
instead of just saying 'Only newbies don't understand' or even 'Only
morons don't understand'.

I haven't a clue what eggcups is
Screenshot not included - list trims out enclosures
How hard is it to find the Red Fedora (like the Windows Start button) ->
Preferences -> Screensaver ?
My guess is gnome-vfs/esd is about sound but I could be wrong.
Subject - FC3 sucks: has got to be the best way to ensure that you get
no assistance from this list...
Did I say that your attitude needs improving? People that want help
generally find that self control, respect for others and some evidence
that you've made at least some effort to solve their issues gets more
assistance.
