Is that post boot time memory free gap between winstart rc3 vs manila/panel still about 15MB after the additional testing? Was not sure if I missed something in the subsequent posts. Have you (or teradog) had a chance to see what rc4 does to those memory numbers?
I have not tried winstart since I do not want to mess around with that whole beta expire date kills the app thing. Guess call me lazy lol.

I also have quickmenu as well! top left corner of your screen, even if you're running a 653 ROM! And use wktask, just move it over to the right & leave a little room for the invisible button (you can make it visible)
Don't forget to uncheck Sense! And unless I really read it all wrong, it appears you are mixing up 2 different things! Startmenu replacements (quickmenu & panel from above same sentence) & home/today/manila/sense replacements (manila). However, having said that.... you could use NOTHING at all for the today screen, just a background pic & use quickmenu (a NRG ROM startmenu replacement named compact startmenu)...
I've written volumes on replacing the startmenu & home screen. In fact the startmenu replacements in the energy ROM today were very possibly a result of several posts & my discussions with NRG.(#
25326), ... and then the next ROM series included a another brilliant NRG move... a Start menu layout switch where you could choose your own.. his, quickmenu & a couple of others..!
re. RC... I didn't even know there was a timebomb. Rumor was for a while NRG was helping her & we were going to see it in the startmenu layout switch choice..., I tried one RC & it was bad, so I went back to beta 2 & I'm 100% sure of the memory finding, both in total, in processes or other... almost none in beta 2.
*edit* To put this into perspective (lest the thread be killed discussing revision numbers... :>)) ... you could use all 4 of the start menu choices & all of them totaled wouldn't come close to the 25 MB the Windows startmenu uses. Point being? Use a startmenu replacement if you're having an issue with RAM & low memory errors. If not, Don't worry... be happy! :>))
