But even with the newer libX11, we can't avoid both memory leaks (Case
2) and crash (Case 3) without a "hideous" workaround or a nontrivial
change in the display initialization. Also, the situation before my
recent change was also "maybe leaking" for GTK+. I think this is
acceptable enough for Emacs 23.1.

There's no response so far, and I'm not sure how bug reports are
usually dealt with in X.org. Actually, I created my bugzilla account
in freedesktop.org for this bug.
