tiny was a reference to:
447286 Feb 20 15:57 /usr/kde/3.1/lib/libartskde.so.1.1.0
1911344 Feb 20 15:57 /usr/kde/3.1/lib/libkdecore.so.4.1.0
3265153 Feb 20 15:57 /usr/kde/3.1/lib/libkdeui.so.4.1.0
7875313 Feb 11 20:30 /usr/qt/3/lib/libqt-mt.so.3.1.0

vs

491624 Feb 20 11:19 /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0.200.1

therefore, a max of 4% of the total required libs.
and in any case, this has a very small impact on
startup time as its c, and will very likely be in
memory on most desktops anyway.
