So it's your claim that KEdit uses 22 megabytes of RAM?

You keep saying that but you show no evidence of that.   Right here right 
now I can't manage to get KWrite to do XIM, spell checking, or loading of 
a file with a given character set on the command line.

If you don't use KEdit, so be it.  But why take it away from others who 
want it?
