#8234: Memory not freed when closing windows
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  aaaaaa        |     Owner:  lschiere
     Type:  defect        |    Status:  new     
Component:  unclassified  |   Version:  2.5.4   
 Keywords:  memory        |  
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 To reproduce:
 1. Start pidgin and log in. It eats just around 4-5 MB (at Ubuntu PC).
 2. Open Preferences and visit all tabs. It is around 30 MB now (so much?).
 3. Close preferences
 4. Only ~0.5 MB is freed.

 You can do the same with chat windows. Open 20 new chats. Memory grows to
 ~160 MB. Close all. Memory shrinks to 150 MB.

 Memory grows and grows.

 Pidgin 2.5.4 is using less at startup now than previous versions which is
 very good, but now using it should require also less memory
