I just fixed one (GCs were not freed) :-), but the problem is still
there, and I meant something different in the mail you quoted.

DwStyle has a built-in check for memory leaks, all structures are
either stored in a hashtable, or counted. a_Dw_style_freeall tests if
some are not removed properly, and prints a warning in this case.

From time to time, I get this warning; fonts and colors are always ok
(note that the remaining styles hold references on them), only styles
are left. From the leaks I fixed in the last time, most were referred
to widgets, so I guess that this is still buggy.

However, this occurs rather rarely, and the problem also arises if all
styles are removed properly.
