Re: [gDesklets] 0.36.3 leaking memory?!

[Ronny Lorenz <raumzeit gmx net>]

Hi Bjoern,

this may be it... I found that gdk_pixbuf_scale_simple() returns a 
copy... and 'scaled' (in the appropriate line of utils/render.c) seems 
to be free'd only if the width or height has changed...
I will try and test it if I find out how to checkout the sources ;)

greetings, ronny
