No, you're not.  That appears to be a resource leak because of a  
reference leak in the bindings.  gdk_pixbuf_render_pixmap_and_mask()  
and gdk_pixbuf_render_pixmap_and_mask_for_colormap() return brand-new  
GdkDrawables, but the bindings do not take ownership of the new  
objects.  The GObjects leak, so the underlying X resources leak.

Please try the attached patch.
