Federico fixed gtcd yesterday after the postings here, so that's why it
works for you now. It was creating a lot of pixmaps (thus making the X
server grow) and never freeing them. There was no problem with gtk, glib,
or the X server, it turns out, just a simple gtcd memory leak (albeit a
really big one).
