Version: 2.30.3-2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

This has already been reported upstream
(https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=729717) two months ago but
ignored - please could the attached patch be applied to fix a stupid
memory leak when painting.

This is important as it causes more and more wasted memory for the
GNOME Hardware Monitor applet's graphs (which refresh often), and any
descendant applets/plugins - I have previously taken this applet and
ported it to XFCE4 (see
https://github.com/OmegaPhil/hardware-monitor-applet), where its now
used constantly and hopefully will end up in xfce4-goodies at some point.

Thanks
