Sorry, that would be my fault... untill Palettes are supported I have added 
an internal Visual and Colormap to Bitmaps. In DeleteObject I accidently put 
gdk_visual_REF, and gdk_colormap_REF, instead of UNREF.. DOH! just goes to 
show you coding at 1am on a system with 768Mb ram isn't safe...

There are also a few routines which do not free an existing colormap when 
you create a new one, but these aren't that big of a deal yet.. I have tall 
of them I know of taken care of on my system. So I will just go ahead and 
send another patch to Mattias as soon as I can tonight.. Sooner then I was 
going too, but on lesser systems..errhem, systems with less memory.. ;-), 
this could be a serious problem.
