DGA is inherently non-networkable, so there really is nothing you can
do about that.  Personally I think it is/was a dumb idea to require
it, but I am no genius X programmer so maybe it solves a real need.

GNOME is a huge hog of resources on anything older than about 2 years
old, I agree with you there.
