A user has reported that he's seeing a memory leak in gworldclock in
Ubuntu, which is using version 1.4.4-9 from sid, unmodified.  I have
confirmed that there is a leak. but have not tracked it down.

Here is the report:

I've discovered a memory leak in gworldclock in Ubuntu 11.04
(1.4.4-9ubuntu1). I measured it over time and found it leaks pretty
steadily at a rate of about 450 to 500 KiB/h. I'll attach the graph
below, but for now here are its config files:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<gworldclock>
  <timeDisplayFormat>%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S (%a)</timeDisplayFormat>
</gworldclock>
UTC "UTC"
America/Denver "Fort Collins"
America/Sao_Paulo "Diogo"
Europe/London "London"
Asia/Shanghai "Beijing"
Pacific/Auckland "Auckland"
Europe/Budapest "Budapest"

For the graph and more details:

Thanks for the report, and sorry about the leak.

I've been porting the clock across to Qt.  When that's released we'll
evaluate it again and see Qt makes it easier to close leaks (or if their
libraries are tighter than GTK).
