Well, MenuMiniPixmaps 0 currently will only prevent minipixmaps from 
being displayed, but they will still get loaded on startup.

I think it does not make sense, and I'm currently changing it to not do 
that. So hopefully we'll make a new release of AS soon, which will not 
do that.

While waiting for me, you can comment out (or delete altogether) line 
that reads  reload_menu_pmaps ( ...

in src/afterstep/configure.c  (approximately line 1899)

Thanks for reporting that.
