How much memory did you have in this install?

[Ronald McCollam (fader)]

I was using 512MB of RAM, which was previously listed as the bare minimum for the desktop install on the System Requirements wiki page[1]. However, I see that as of June of this year (revision 51) that was changed to 1GB instead; I will increase the ram in my VM to the new minimum requirement for future tests.

I am marking this bug as invalid due to my test system not matching the minimum requirements and will re-open if this behavior recurs with the new configuration.
