You call that lightweight?! 20 MB just to draw some rectangles and
manage a mouse pointer? :-)

By the way, even the smallest X apps make X suck a lot more memory.

I have a Windows CE running in an embedded PC here and all the GUI +
IE6 sucks 8 MB of RAM. I would really like to do that with FreeBSD.

Best regards,
Cesar
