memory leak https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=558594

[Basile STARYNKEVITCH <basile starynkevitch net>]

Hello All,

The bug 558594 does show a reproductible memory leak (on
Linux/Debian/Sid with libgtk2.0-0 2.16.6-1).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=558594

I did read the source code and did not found any apparent leak (that is,
in my understanding of Gtk & Glib documentation, the code should not
exhibit a memory leak, which does appear).

And the bug is quite old and does not seems to be cared of.

I did not make this bug report, but I am in the process of choosing GTK
and willing to code (in an GPL-ed project) very similar things (for
quite similar purposes).

Comments are welcome. This bug disturbs me a lot.

Regards.
