That would not be a clarification, that would be serious
confusion at best.

 387170	Fairly large leak in gtk+
 360350	leak in gtk_radio_button_focus
 362439	gtkicontheme::pixbuf_supports_svg leaks GList
 370395	leak in gtk_rc_parse_icon_source
Fixed in current 2.10, not in 2.8.20.

 364514	gtk leaks GDI objects on the win32 classic look and feel
Win32 => don't understand a thing, but I suppose it's the
same.

 348108	Refleaks in gtk-demo
No one uses the demo program in his applications, anyway,
it's fixed in current 2.10, not in 2.8.20.

 389194	mem leaks in gtkpagesetupunixdialog
 382314	gtkpagesetup leaks when setting new paper size
 364868	GDI resource leak in GtkStatusIcon on win32
These are new 2.10 features, with no adverse effect on users
of 2.8 API.

Please reread Behdad's answer.
