Don't know if this will solve your problem but I found:
"gdk_color_alloc is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written
code. Use gdk_colormap_alloc_color() instead."
My guess is that gdk_color_alloc allocates memory which isn't being freed up
and thus accumulates, but I didn't dig very deep. This might also happen
with the newer function.
