Memory management in gtk

["Vishak V. Kurup" <vishak kurup nestgroup net>]

Hi all,

 

I am having a small problem related to GTK. My application is having
around 15 windows.  When I start my application and check the memory
usage using "top" utility it shows around 19MB. When a new window is
created it may increase upto 22 MB (varies each time). And after I
destroy the new window my memory is not getting reduced. Could anyone
please tell me why memory usage is not decreased even after I destroy
widget.

 

Same problem occurs with string created using g_strdup_printf. The
memory is not reduced using g_free.

 

regards

vishak
