It's not easy to diagnose such a problem for people not knowing the details of mousepad sources and the libraries it uses. The people who are most able to help you are the XFCE guys (mousepad being part of the xfce desktop). Is this issue FreeBSD specific? If not you should definitely report this to the upstream developers. I'll make a pair of tests in virtual machines to see what happens. Can you confirm simple steps to reproduce as follows: - Open 2 mousepad windows and open documents in them - do some work in one or both - wait, the leak happens in idle windows have I correctly understood the problem? -- Guido Falsi <mad@madpilot.net>
