I always found it difficult to differentiate between "leaking" memory 
and a single "leak" during the run time of a GTK application.

Pango is even worse. Start using markup text and you'll just give up 
trying to find memory leaks.

I just suppress everything not coming out of my source files and leave 
it at that. GTK is not something any single person could go through and 
find all the memory leaks.
