| To whom it may concern, Recently I am wirting a program which use gnome canvas to 
display images and the tools I use to display/load image is 
gdk_imlib_load_image/gdk_imlib_load_alpha. The performance for using gdk_imlib 
to load the image is very good. But unfortunately after I use the program to 
load a number of image (It will change the image if key event occur). It eat up 
most of my memory and doesn't release it. I try to use the function 
gdk_imlib_destroy_image to free the memory used. But whenever I tried to load 
the program that function just crash my program. (it work fine if the function 
gdk_imlib_destroy_image not used.)  following is my code. GnomeCanvasItem *drawImage(GnomeCanvasGroup *rtgrp, gchar 
*image_name, int x, int y) {     GnomeCanvasItem *item;     GdkimlibImage *image;     image = 
gdk_imlib_load_image(image_name);     item = gnome_canvas_item_new(rtgrp, 
gnome_canvas_image_get_type,         "image", 
image,         "x", (double) 
x,         "y", (double) 
y,         "width", 
image->rgb_width,         "height", 
image->rgb_height,         "anchor", 
GTK_ANCHOR_NW,         NULL);     
gdk_imlib_destroy_image(image);     return(item); } I wish someone can give me any solution regarding to the 
above code. As I also tried to use gnome_canvas_pixbuf instead of 
gnome_canvas_image. But I find out that when I first run my program it just eat 
up most of my memory and the performance to load image is terriblly 
slow. I am using Red Hat 7.0 with CLE installed and gtk+ and 
glib version 1.2.8. Therefore I hope someone may give me any solution to my 
problem. P.S., I also wish to know how to upgrade gnome to 1.2.8 as I 
have another computer with Red Hat 6.2 with kernal upgraded to 2.4.0 with 
gtk+  and glib upgraded from 1.2.6 to 1.2.8. But the version for gnome is 
1.0.1. many thanks, Kalvin |
