It looks to me like a major leak is that we don't free the stuff on the
search notebook page when we close a search.  I've spent a few hours
trying to clean it up, but I can't figure out what needs to be done to
actually free the memory.  For example,

_new_search() does this:
gtk_list_prepend_items( [list], glist)

and if I put

gtk_list_remove_items( [list], glist)

in search_close_current(), ccmalloc still says that the
gtk_list_prepend_items call is leaking memory.

Trying to gtk_widget_destroy(sch->clist) seems to cause a segfault if it's
done after gtk_clist_clear(sch->clist).

Trying to gtk_widget_destroy() the labels that are put in as column
headers in the search pages doesn't crash, but according to ccmalloc,
still leaks memory.

Does anyone know how you're supposed to clean up things in gtk?  Neither
the gtk-reference nor the gtk tutorial really address this, AFAICT.
