You cannot use `top` or pmaps to measure memory usage.
GTK+ (through GLib) uses an internal slab allocator, which means that
memory is allocated in bulk and then recycled internally.
If you want to check if there are leaks in your code, you should use
Valgrind instead, after reading this wiki page:
