Dunno, I've never done that much low-level X handling. My guess is that free() is freeing the memory allocated to that object, but that destroy_...() will also clean up references in other data structures. So, if I had to guess, I'd say free() on its own will leak memory, yes.

Haven't tried the nightlies yet: how many packages make up one IDE?! Sheesh... [EDIT: these 1.9.1 backports look quite handy for Ubuntu]
