I have a function which is eating up lots of memory. The function is

int SetWidgetColour(GtkWidget *widget, int bordersize, int red,

GtkStyle *new_style;
<snip>

new_style = gtk_style_copy(gtk_widget_get_default_style());
<snip>
gtk_style_detach (widget->style);
gtk_widget_set_style(GTK_WIDGET(widget), new_style);

return TRUE;
}

The function creates a new style on the heap every time it's called. That style is then allocated to the widget, so it must be persistent. This will cause a lot of memory to be used... unless you can absolutely guarantee that the "gtk_style_detach" call results in the old style being free'd. The documentation only says it "may" result in it being "unrealised".
