Yes, actually, I will. I have quite a bit of personal experience with developing with Gtk and cannot recall ever finding a "huge memory leak" in it or having a memory usage problem specifically because of it. I also know for certain that gnome-terminal has several design flaws that increase its memory usage rather needlessly. Unless you are a developer that uses Gtk personally, I don't think you really know enough to claim the bug is in Gtk. I think that the number of applications found at http://gnomefiles.org/ belie any claim that Gtk is somehow in general faulty. -- "Less is only more where more is no good." --Frank Lloyd Wright Shawn Walker, Software and Systems Analyst binarycrusader at gmail.com - http://binarycrusader.blogspot.com/
