Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.run /usr/bin/rhn-applet-gui& from a terminal (assuming it isn't already running)
2.repeated "ps -l" and observe rhn-applet-gui size in field #10 growing
3.give it long enough to get really big, and the system runs out of memory and
starts to swap - eventually, it grinds to a halt

this was a leak in the gdkpixbuf bindings, and has since been fixed in the
latest trees.
