DetailsDescription: When using xlib a memory leak is present while opening and then closing a display. Every time this is done 124 bytes are leaked. I have noticed this issue with Arch for some time but could never determine what the problem was till I read this bug report. http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=358249
The fix is for libxcb is located here http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xcb/libxcb/commit/?id=5755582444ad0ba79e661ab3173cc38e9e588d83 Steps to reproduce: I have attached a simple source file so that you may reproduce the problem. Using valgrind should indicate the memory leak.
