Tomboy does use quite a bit, on my system 15 MB of real. Pmap reports 5 MB of that is shared, which might be useful if you run other Mono apps.

But in comparison, my Gnome clock also uses 15 MB. True, this is because it pulls in the Evolution backend. Same for my mail notification icon: 10 MB.

The deskbar-applet, written in Python takes up 15 MB of real as well.

Even the little trashcan applet that sits in one of my desktop panels uses a whole megabyte. Who knows what that's for? Probably glitz and cairo and dbus and libart for SVG trash icons, no doubt.
