I have Redhat 7.1 + Ximian and can vouch for the same behaviour (whacking
oaf speeds Gnome, especially evolution).  it also seems that,  at least on
my box,  oaf remains running after the user logs out.  If I know no one is
arround I wander over to the console (an ASCII terminal, the users have
LTSP machines) and kill all the oaf processes.
