Bug#1082537: gtk4: after 4.14.4+ds-8 -> 4.16.1+ds-2, parlatype leaks memory

Hi Jeremy,

Thanks for having looked at it.

:-(
(as side info, it occurs by listening to .mp3 & .ogg. I did not try other audio formats)


> Does it happen every time for you even after restarting your computer?
Yes every time.
After up/down-grading packages, I just restarted parlatype.
It happens just after upgrading above mentioned packages.
If I restart computer, it still happens.
It disappears just after downgrading packages.


> Does it affect other GTK4 apps?
No, I did not see any impact on other apps.
Note that I downgraded above packages soon after noticing this bug, as I like to run parlatype.
However I believe that if it would affect other packages with a similar memory leak rate, it would soon get noticed.
So let's assume it only impacts parlatype.
Maybe that would make it a parlatype bug rather than a gtk4 bug, given that someone is able to reproduce it.
