yes, valgrind was used _a_lot_ to find and fix many bugs, most of them
not very serious, and just a few crushers.

however, most of the valgrind reports that we didn't get rid of seem to
be rooted somewhere inside xlib ... the reports are sometimes quite
bizzare. it might be that there is a real problem in xlib or that we are
using xlib wrong. not many people use xlib directly these days so it is
possible that it works 100% reliably only for glib, qt and motif...

anyway, if you have expertize to research those valgrind reports, by all
means please do!
