gtkdialog memory usage. My results aren't quite so kind. Using some actual gtkdialog3 (ver 0.7.20) compatible apps:thunor wrote:Let's test :)

Let's concentrate on htop's RES (resident memory) column -> VIRT, RES and SHR in top output

So main increase in resource usage is in VIRT. But still around one MByte increase for each running gtkdialog application for the RES portion. The increase probably doesn't matter on most people's systems though and the programmer can certainly do a lot more with the new version.
