More info on the memory leaks. It has to do with GtkToolbar.insert(). For example, in the function _init_toolbar2_4() in backend_gtk.py, commenting out any of the self.insert() calls will change how much it leaks. Comment them all out, plus the self.fileselect assignment (which is very slow, by the way, and accounts for more leaks than other places) and it'll leak minimally.
Does that mean this is a bug in gtk?

Many, many thanks Darren, especially for looking into this so quickly.
I'll finish testing this setup with the rest of our codes and will let
you know if we hit any other Qt-specific bumps.
Cheers,

Hi Fernando,
I'll have a look at this, but I might not be able to get to it until this 
weekend. Is that ok for you?

Hi all,
I'm wondering if anyone knows what the problem is (traceback at the
end). If I use close() when running with the Qt4Agg backend under
OSX, the figures do not close, and I get a nasty traceback instead.
Perhaps the problem also exists on other OSes (I hope, so it's easier
to fix), but I only have a Qt4 build on OSX (PPC) 10.4.9.
This is with a fairly recent SVN build:
In [21]: matplotlib.__revision__
Out[21]: '$Revision: 3125 $'
Any help on this one would be greatly appreciated (and John: I think
this is the backend we'll be using, so it would be very nice to get
this fixed :)
Cheers,
f
