Hi again, strange that you always start seeing new things just after you wrote an e-mail about it :) Looks like the styles are all getting put into a hash table (realized_style_ht) and freed (or unref'ed) in gtk_rc_style_finalize(). So that changes my question to "When is gtk_rc_style_finalize called", or rather why is it not called in my case. But anyway, thanks for your help :) Henry -- Hi! I'm a .signature virus!
