However, a lisp wizard can really jazz it up with loads of graphics, etc. So it is possible that Shawn is using a 'simpler' config and Chris is the aforementioned lisp wizard :) Sawmill/sawfish uses imlib, so if Chris is using a config with loads of graphics, it would lend credence to my theory that imlib and XF86-4.0 are interacting to create large/many shared memory segments.
