The more you write, the better. Memory allocation problems are sometimes
hard to track (at least for me) and can cause severe thinking pains for
lamers like yours truly -- speaking from my humble experience. I must admit
that sometimes I am not sure: is function x returning a pointer to a
tingling fresh allocated memory which I can use later in my program not
caring whether the widget from which it was taken still exists or not, or
merely a pointer to some widget internals, which will be destroyed together
with the widget? At a point of time (remember, I am not a real programmer)
I just strdup-ed any pointer I got from such functions.

Best regards,
j.
