Beforehand forgive me for my English as I do not know English, I am 
compelled to use the electronic translator.

X11 Mouse Themes cause memory leak(outflow of memory) in the Xorg/XFree, 
at use of the GTK2 graphic programs, but not QT programs.

To reproduce a mistake it is possible so:
1. Choose any Xcursor Themes, possible: 
"http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=5507"
2. In the program "gqview-1.4.X" to increase(zoom) the image, that it 
would leave far beyond(outside) a window.
3. And to move(dragging) the image(long time), observing for behaviour 
Xorg/Xfree.

It is a problem it is shown in:
FreeBSD-5.1, 5.2.1,  4.9
Xorg-6.7
Xfree86-4.3, 4.4
Gtk2
GQview 1.4.X (making with gtk2)
This mistake(memory leak) is shown only in the FreeBSD, but not in the 
linux.
Nevertheless I saw(I have found) a similar problem 
on:"http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31982"
