It could well be, but I'd be a bit surprised. Every few months of
hacking I try to take the time to get my project to valgrind cleanly.
It's about 100,000 lines of C in the UI part. The only leaks I see in
GTK are static initialisation (maybe I'm not pushing GTK very hard).

If you have a leak and a testcase (and a patch, even better), open a
bug in bugzilla. I've had good experiences with this ... the few bugs
I've found and patched have been added to gtk cvs within a couple of
days.

Questions about gtk internals are probably best directed to gtk-devel-list.
