You might want to double check all GTK+ creation or resources,
ie creating new widgets or ref's of Gtk or Gdk objects in all your
loops

Second, check any static arrays, there's an issue with X programs
and static arrays, ie int array[10000];

This will cause the X server to behave in the way what you behave
in some circumstances (it's a bug in the X server).
