    My X server seems to be running at about 4Mbytes, plus the frame buffer
    mappings which make it appear a lot larger. I wouldn't be suprised if
    half the 4Mb was pixmap cache too, maybe more.

    I've helped write tiny UI kits (take a look at nanogui for example) but
    they don't have the flexibility of X.
