RE: Valgrind questions

[Thomas Harty <t harty1 physics ox ac uk>]

I've been updating the suppression file to work with the new version of Gtk. I'm getting a few errors for 
widgets which are deleted by Gtk (using the manage function), which look like this (N.B. it's actually a 
Gtkmm app):

==13910== 20 bytes in 1 blocks are definitely lost in loss record 5,230 of 10,037

any suggestions for what's causing this leak report and the best way to suppress it?

Might it be a good idea to put the suppression file directly into the
GTK sources, and perhaps even distribute it via the -dev / -devel
packages for libgtk?

Might help the FAQ factor a bit if everyone can just be told to find The
Suppression File in /usr/share/something...
