Not a good idea.
[root@(protected) X11R6]# du -hs .
193M .
[root@(protected) X11R6]# find . -type f | xargs strip
# All sorts of "File format not recognized" messages. I'm sure I could
have refined the search, but what the heck.
[root@(protected) X11R6]# du -hs .
57M .
However, that crashed X. With a lot of "No Symbols found"
messages. Oops.
It might work better if you don't strip the modules. Anyone want to
