Hi Andreas!
Have a look at "How does memory management work in GTK+?" in the FAQ for
strings that will be returned by GTK functions.
All memory that your application allocates itself has to be freed by
your application too. GTK can't know whether a "const char*" that you pass
as an argument to a GTK function was dynamically allocated or is a static
string.
