Lack of a GFX card could be a problem, unless it works with FBlit
or something like that, or if you're only working with small

If you have a stupid amount of undo levels defined (like I do),
the undo / redo menus can take a while to show up, which can be
frustrating (and sometimes a little confusing, but that's just
'cause I'm a bit thick).
