This is driving me crazy. In my big application I have a callback on a 
menuitem:

void on_assgt1_activate (GtkMenuItem *menuitem, gpointer user_data)
{
	GtkWidget *w;
	w=create_dialog4();
	gtk_widget_show(w);
}

the callback on the ok button is

on_okbuton2_clicked (GtkButton *button, gpointer user_data)
{
	GtkWidget *w;
	w=lookup_widget(GTK_WIDGET(button));
	gtk_widget_destroy(w);
}

In a small test project, no memory leak. When I do this in my bigger 
application, memory gets consumed every time I open and close the dialog. I 
tried to use g_free(w) after the destroy_widget call, but the app crashes 
after the third attempt to call on_okbutton2_clicked.

I just don't get it. Ideas?
