No arguing at all, if we free the pixmaps and that memory is not freed, it's
not *our* bug, so put the strain on people causing the problem, not on us.

Of course your experience of using "remote X sessions over slow wifi networks."
is not comparable at all with people running a local X server, for those people
using pixmaps is visibly faster. The fact is that they are two totally
different use cases and probably one can't do a program that will make both
kind of users happy, people running local X servers want eye candy, speed at
all costs, etc. People running remote/shared X servers want the less use of
resources possible.

I don't really see us changing this as it works fine for most of our users
(you'll agree that people using "remote X sessions over slow wifi networks." is
not a majority) but i am not sure if *i* (not the okular maintainer) would
opose to a clean patch implementing non pixmap usage
