Re: [wmii] can't start firefox

It's late here, so let me clarify that I sometimes forget that people on
mailing lists use anything other than the development head of a given program.
The wmii releases specify -O2 (although -O3 works perfectly well and gives
noticable speed improvements) and do not include debuging information. The
binaries, however, are still not stripped. strip -s removes ~15k, or about 10%
(Note that a stripped Ion is ~328k, fluxbox is ~8.4M).
