This depends mostly on what other processes you are running.  Creating another
window on an X server takes about 100 bytes for most servers (the space
needed by the structures allocated for each window - if the server does a
saveUnder for the window it will take more).  However, another process such
as xterm will take 150k.  This assumes you have shared text and another xterm
is already running.  Otherwise a new X application can take 1/2 Meg.

I think a lot of this is for the toolkit and widget code.
