I dont think thats right:

would be:

This is what g_strchug does when remove leading whitespace.

not true. if you did freed the n'th element of a string the memory
manager would either do nothing or perform random errors;
no one ever allocated `size' memory at n'th location of
a string.

so essentialy if strstrip did that,
not only mem leaks would occur.
