I was separating gimmie engine from gui to find some memory leaks
i ended up creating a new gui (SIDEBAR) mixed with a little cairo
and voila
it even has a taskbar
all it needs a notidication area
cheers

the applet
as I see it, the best thing on gimmie/mayanna is it's gui, and it can
be very nice replacement for standard gnome Menu Bar applet, but it
can't eat 500 megs !

svn trunk from googlecode. the only service I was signed in were google docs. are you trying to say me that metadata for 30 docs is eating 500 Megs? The problem I see is that you are focusing on web services integration instead of optimizing existing code for desktop navigation. To make it more responsive, keyboard invokable/navigable, etc.

You can make it attractive if you integrate web services, but it's UNUSABLE in it's current state. I would like to help you, but if you are drawing UML diagrams you are probably planning complete rewrite

if you didn't notice from previous messages and posts there is a desktop
version
I started the desktop verison to stop focusing on online stuff to
optimize mayanna
bzr branch lp:~mayanna/mayanna/mayanna-legacy-desktop
here is the link
it has no webstuff
and focuses on desktop and optimizing the memory consumption

We are rewriting the whole code. but this doesn't mean there is no
development on mayanna-legacy. I actually want to make it stable enough
to propose it for gnome inclusion. I am just finishing school now so i
didn't have time. I got more time on my hand now anyways.
So feel free to try to help us :)
cheers
