broffice and xfce are the two that went over their targets. They need to
get back under 703 MiB. Games was almost hit, but still has enough cushion
that I can handle the hedgewars small increase in size which will be
showing up in a push tomorrow unless it gets negative karma before then.
But I'm still pretty close and will probably still implement whatever
we do for broffice and xfce.

Can you make some proposal here that we can relatively safely mplement this

Were probably OK on KDE as it is about 15 MiB under the limit right now.
I'd rather not make changes there right now if we don't have to. But there
probably should be a plan to allow for a simpler background on KDE based
spins for the future.

Any ideas on how this is happening?
