I've still seem to have a problem with this. I did a bit of research and 
it seems that GtkImage's set_from_pixmap increases the ref_count of the 
pixmap, thus the pixmap ends up with two ref_count two (I build NOISY 
Glib to confirm this) and thus X does not free its memory.

Is there a way to unset the pixmap from the image or force the 
destroying of the pixmap? Recreating the image at this point in code 
does not work right away.
