nope, its the consequence of choosing one of the big desktop
environments, both, KDE and GNOME have such big memory footprints.
but since i'm still alone with development the idea behind not choosing
something smaller was to get the full support and help from the distro
team and a warranty that everything is ready in time for the desktop
(since gnome has nearly the same release schedule as ubuntu).

you could try to install xubuntu-desktop from universe, run:
 sudo update-alternatives --config x-session-manager
and make xfce the default, it will have a way smaller memory usage.

i think it was fine, else i wouldnt have gotten your feedback which is
most valuable for improvements ;)

indeed i'm not. during the several tests i ran with the LTSP guys at our
shared conference i found a lot bad stuff we will (and have to) improve
for dapper. the experience you shared with us pointed out important
stuff that will help a lot. note that we dont have many testers that
give this much feedback.

i'm very grateful about the work you did and i hope you'll go on to help
out with testing to make dapper a rocking experience for our target
audience (you) ;)

ciao
