Hi guys. I've found a seemingly gdkglext -related 20 byte memory leak:
(linking with gdkglext)
$ echo "int main() {}" > g.c && gcc g.c -lgdkglext-x11-1.0 -og &&
valgrind --leak-check=full --show-reachable=yes ./g

In contrast to:
(linking with -lGL only)
$ echo "int main() {}" > g.c && gcc g.c -lGL -og && valgrind
--leak-check=full --show-reachable=yes ./g

Call me anal, but i'd like to reduce memory leaks to zero in my
application. Is there a way of removing this 20 byte leak? I realize
it's a one-time alloc, so whatever my application does, it's still
just 20 bytes. Still, maybe it's something that just went un-noticed.
My guess is -- the gdkglext dso does some allocation at startup and
forgets to remove it at shutdown. So the fix would be either in the
gdkglext dso, or in my program somehow. If it's in my program, how do
i do it? i called no init functions in this example so i figure there
should be no deinit either. But i can call it explicitly if it's the
*right* thing to do.
