X11 Memory Usage



Does anyone have pointers on how to reduce how much memory X uses?  If I run
'gtop' immediately after starting X, it appears that X is using 50 MB of memory
(although I may be reading that wrong -- I'm looking at the 'Size' column..)  50
MB certainly seems to be a large amount to be using on startup..   Even Netscape
rarely gets that high (on my computer, at least)

Anyway, I'm just trying to find ways to reduce my swap usage..
