The original code creates new Gdk::Pixmaps/Bitmaps every time by im.to_pixmap_and_mask. 
And the new Gdk::Pixmap/Gdk::Bitmap were not GC-ed.

The workaround creates new Gdk::Pixmap/Gdk::Bitmap only once.

Hmm, Ruby-GNOME2 is not worked under GNOME-1.4.
You have to update it to GNOME-2.0 if you use Ruby-GNOME2.


And there are some differences between Ruby-GNOME/Ruby-GNOME2.
Especially, obsolete methods/classes have been removed.

libglade files can convert from libglade to libglade2 with libglade-convert.
And a template file for Ruby/Libglade2 is created from libglade2.glade with 
ruby-glade-create-template. 

P.S.
If I had time that I maintain Ruby-GNOME ....
