Good idea, but I've taken it a little further: I don't
do anything but full screen, whether it has one or two
xterms on it, so I don't need a desktop background at
all.

I commented out this line in my ~/.xinitrc:

swmbg /usr/share/swm/pixmaps/midnight.xpm &

Now, with three full-screen xterms up at boot, and using
reverse video, my memory footprint is about 11M. It runs
up from 6M when I first startx, for reasons I haven't
investigated yet. 

              total         used         free       shared      buffers
  Mem:       126584        11376       115208            0          244
 Swap:       128484            0       128484
Total:       255068        11376       243692

There isn't enough in the buffers to account for the
difference.

It increments each time I run an app like mutt.
