           Summary: Sessions are not sharing background's image memory
           Product: konsole
           Version: 1.3.2
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konsole-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: guillaume.pratte iquebec com


Version:           1.3.2 (using KDE 3.2.2,  (testing/unstable))
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.3 (Debian 20040401)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.4

There is evidence that Konsole is not sharing memory for the background image between the various sessions. For instance, on my system, a xrestop indicates :

res-base Wins  GCs Fnts Pxms Misc   Pxm mem  Other   Total   PID Identifier
3400000    54  126    5   69   72    15992K     10K  16002K   ?   Terminal - Konsole

Adding a new session to Konsole makes the memory go up by about 5 megs :

res-base Wins  GCs Fnts Pxms Misc   Pxm mem  Other   Total   PID Identifier
3400000    57  126    5   68   74    21256K     11K  21267K   ?   Terminal - Konsole

All my sessions are using the same background.. Why should memory usage increase?
