Bug#403639: Patch for this bug should be available soon

[Attilio Fiandrotti]

Hi

following up to myself to announce that a preliminary patch (attached) 
for this bug was worked out some days ago and should be soon available 
in a definitive version as soon as mike emmel, gtkdfb maintainer, 
reviews it.

The patch fixes the memory leaks that were experienced when destroying a 
child gdkwindow (takes care of releasing the cairo surface associated 
with a gdkwindow).

Experiments i did with cdebconf and various test scripts showed a huge 
redcution in wasted memory (100KB vs 900KB) for a set of ~10 questions 
asked in sequence.
