memory leaks in OptionEntry::add_entry

[Ionutz Borcoman <iborco gmail com>]

Hi,

I'm trying to see how to use the Glib::OpenEntry.

When I compile and run the attached program, valgrind complains on memory 
leaks when I use "OptionGroup::add_entry (const OptionEntry& entry, 
vecustrings& arg)".

Is this a real leak?

$ valgrind --leak-check=full options -b -s xxx -v aaa

Are the 'possibly lost' and 'still reachable' important? If not, can they be 
suppressed somehow?

Thanx,
