Look! Gnome-keyboard-applet takes 16MB or RAM. This is million times the total amount of memory my first computer had. It included the whole operating system and a graphical file manager in 1/1000000th of what gnome-keyboard-applet takes!
gnome-netstatus-applet takes the same room!

where and how are you measuring that?
do you know the difference between the way that other operating system
uses RAM and the way Linux does?

Gnome System Monitor shows.
ok…do you know about top?
open a terminal and give it top and enter…
copy/paste it to somewhere, and then open your gnome-keyboard-applet,
give it several seconds to “settle down” and do another copy/paste
then compare memory usage lines at the the top (of top)
see there is a memory line and a swap line, and for each a total,
used, free, and buffers/cached…
you didn’t answer my other question “do you know the difference
between the way that other operating system uses RAM and the way Linux
does?”
if you don’t know the difference you will probably find the memory
usage shown in top to be disturbing…
