Comment 15 for bug 1295614

mcipub, your log only shows:
==25967== LEAK SUMMARY:
==25967== definitely lost: 8,976 bytes in 145 blocks
==25967== indirectly lost: 130,362 bytes in 136 blocks
==25967== possibly lost: 43,384 bytes in 656 blocks

Which isn't too bad. There's a lot of leaks from GTK/Glib that will never get fixed, which does make it harder to make sure xfdesktop itself isn't leaking. You can see the Glib bug report starting from 2001 here: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=64096

Anyway, since the big leak you were seeing appears to be in the Ubuntu patched version of xfdesktop I'm closing this bug report. If that gets fixed and you still see a leak in xfdesktop, by all means open another report and we'll track it down.

https://wiki.gnome.org/Valgrind points to some supperssion files the gnome people wrote to filter out a lot of the known leaks, in case you do find more leaks. That will cut down on the file size of the valgrind log.
