Nope, not saying that, I am saying that instead of loading duplicate 
copies of programs into memory it shares them with the rest of the users 
on the system.

I am not concerned with them leaving their sessions hanging I am trying 
to find a way to cut down on memory usage. But I don't see how in Unix 
land as each user is going to have it's own X session and all it's 
processes are going to be owned by the user, so I don't think it's going 
to be possible. But I remember reading NX server did something magic to 
reduce memory usage...
