I had already tested there was no leak in linux (same gtk version 2.24.10),
with ps hat is not that accurate in the short term, but if you let your
program run a pair of hours and both VSZ and RSS do not change I think it's
accurate enough.

Anyway I ran valgrind (without suppress file) for a pair of minutes and I
got a positive result (at least I think):

==11727== HEAP SUMMARY:
==11727==     in use at exit: 320,761 bytes in 5,570 blocks

... on win32 with gtk 2.24.10 (20120208 bundle from gtk.org) the program
leaks about 10kb per sec, and as I said there is no leak also on win32 with
2.16.6 (20100207 bundle from gtk.org)
