Since I don't trust this to catch up with event processing
I rewrote it to a less suspicious form with g_idle_add()
(attached at the end).
It does leak memory with gtk2-2.10.4-10.fc6, but it does
*not* leak memory (not those large quantities anyway) with
gtk+-2.10.6 I have compiled from source. The obvious leak
in the fc6 version is (after 5k iterations):

Either this is redhat-specific or it has been fixed upstream
meanwhile. In both cases it makes sense to report it to
redhat, not to Gtk+.
