It's pointless to report problems against such old versions. Even if
there is a memory leak in GTK+ 2.10, nobody is going to fix it, and
more importantly, nobody is going to release updated sources of
it,when the current maintained version is 2.18. (Of course, you
yourself, or your distro, or whoever, is free to continue to maintain
the 2.10 branch in a separate "fork".)

You should contemplate what you mean with "memory leak". If they are
once-only allocations that appear to leak after the program has
finished, they don't really matter, if you don't know whether they
were leaked during the program execution or not. But do you see
repeated leaks from the same location, with the number of repeats
increasing the longer you let your code run, and the more "loops" you
let its business logic go through? That then might be a true leak.
