Memory leak in GTK+ ?

Hi !

I have been watching the new version of my xlogmaster (1.3.0) pretty
closely, because I had to do some new memory handling.

Well watching it really closely I noticed that the xlogmaster grew in
memory over time... I checked it out for a while and it seems that it
even grew when switching between logfiles.

The ONLY thing that happens on my part when switching between them is
basically clearing the GtkText widget and then displaying another
buffer in it. There is *no memory allocation on my side* there but the
xlogmaster grows... so I am kinda suspicious of the GtkText widget to
cause this (especially because it is known to be flawed) and would
like to know whether anyone else has noticed similar things.

The other thing that seems to enlarge the xlogmaster is
reconfiguration. During reconfiguration there is a lot of allocation
and deallocation doing on so it is possible that I forgot to free some
array somewhere - although I don't think so. I looked through the
source and found the free command for every block I allocated and the
program should always run through them no matter what. So I am also
suspicious of the GTK+ there but I can't be too sure whether it is the
problem of the GTK+ toolkit.


Everyone who is interested in this is VERY welcome to pull down the
recent development version from

	http://www.fusebox.hanse.de/xlogmaster/development/
		or
	http://porter.desy.de/~greve/xlogmaster/development/

because I'd be very grateful of you could find a mistake on my
side... I am relatively sure that at least the GtkText widget is leaky,
though.

Later,
	Georg
