Comment 1 Marc-Andre Lureau 2012-10-19 15:39:02 EDT

thanks for the report, however I doubt we can fix it without more details. Gobject/Gtk itself does "leak", but not over time. This is what matters. You would need to tell use in which circunstances the memory usage is growing. If it's not growing, it's probably harmless, and looking for a leak blindlessly is like searching for a needle in a haystack! Until we have more information, I would suggest to close the bug.

Comment 2 Vimal Patel 2012-10-22 10:16:21 EDT

I agree with your comments Marc-Andre.  I will close the bug as insufficient data.  I will try to look into it a little more, if I get more details of when this happens and how significant it is I will reopen this bug.
