Comment(by Daniel Beardsmore):

 There are leaks somewhere, I know that much, but on my PC Pidgin gets to
 10,000 open GDI handles and explodes. Simply minimising and restoring a
 basic conversation window with one tab in triggers a number of GDI handles
 to leak. This is XP Pro SP3, ~2.5.2 and later (not sure when this began,
 it's been a little while now), previous and current bundled GTK+, and the
 MS Windows theme.

 At some point I need try disabling all my plugins to confirm whether
 Pidgin itself is leaking. Not seen problems opening URLs yet though.

 Certainly not the first GTK+ bug with GDI handle leaks.
