Anything that looks like a memory leak should be dealt with as with memory
leak, i.e. a bug report should be filed.

The sea of bug reports will hopefully be the best driving factor for the 
gtk+ team to provide the suppression file again - after that whatever 
looks like a memory leak should still be dealt with as with memory leak.
