RE: GtkCList memory management

[martyn 2 russell bt com]

Usually, i do:

gchar *fields[2] = {NULL,NULL};
fields[0] = g_strdup_printf("hello");
fields[1] = g_strdup_printf("world");

gtk_clist_append(mylist,fields);

g_free(fields[0]);
g_free(fields[1]);


- Thats all that is needed because you are creating the memory and freeing
YOUR memory after it has been handed to GTK.  If you are still concerned
that GTK is not freeing the memory, I would recommend that you write to the
gtk development mailing list, and ask them.  

Regards,

Martyn

Thanks for your answer Martyn. Trying to find how can I free the mem I 
made a simple example that creates a GtkList, fills it with rows and 
then destroys the object. After this the memory use continues to 
be the same, even after the destruction, this is what my top says. 
Is there a reference I should unref somewhere? Should I put an 
advise in bugzilla? 

Greetings.
