Re: Memory Leak with gtk_timeout_add

You missed two important characters...  There should be a '//' in
front of the gtk_timeout_add, commenting out that line.

One of the variations I tried is to return FALSE from the
timeout_event function, which should remove the old timeout, and
re-doing the gtk_timeout_add () every time.  My most recent experiment
has the timeout_event function: 

gint timeout_event( gpointer data)
{
#if 0
[...]
#endif
    return TRUE;
}

which still eats memory like crazy.
