Why?  Your link is simply not relevant to the discussion at hand.  I
thought I implied that your analogy was incorrect by stating that.  I'm
sorry you were not able to "make [that connection]."  Your analogy is
incorrect, I say.

One last time for luck: Having a "gtk_cleanup()" has absolutely nothing
to do with efficient use of memory.  Whether gtk_cleanup() existed or
not would have zero impact on the memory usage of your GTK program.
Your program will still consume the same amount of RAM, allocated by
one-time initializations of the library instance.  Thus the argument as
to whether GTK+ should be made fully reentrant is completely orthogonal
to a pontification on efficient use of RAM.
