Re: gnome-mag's memory usage

Hi Aurelian

Although I am not aware of any big memory leaks in gnome-mag, this
sounds like a bug.  Opening a bug in gnome bugzilla would be best, then
you can post your attachments.  

For finding memory leaks on Linux, I highly recommend using valgrind. 
If you can run gnome-mag in valgrind it's likely to provide excellent
diagnostics.  Carlos, perhaps you could help investigate this issue?
