Still, that misses every other point I made. That was one— and the
smallest— of many issues.

I'm sure you know the work is already happening on this and is
considered a release blocker, but if not:

This is not the case with the tests that I have done/seen. Perhaps
you're not comparing systems that are entirely equivalent except for the
desktop environment. I have in fact seen LXQt using roughly the same
amount of memory as LXDE.

And besides, as I said, the issue with GTK is that when it was attempted
to try to port LXDE over to GTK3, it was found to use more memory than
if it was ported to Qt. It's not reasonable to imagine that LXDE can
continue forever on GTK2. Therefore, a comparison of LXDE and LXQt is
not really a fair one.

You can easily do that. I always replace window managers with awesome,
personally.
