[pygtk] Pixmaps

[PEYMAN ASKARI]

This is a general question regarding pixmaps and garbage collection

I had a piece of code which ran roughly as follows

def on_da_configure_event(...):
    #pixmap stored in a list to become immutable
    global da_pixmap

    da_pixmap[0]=gtk.Pixmap(...)

essentially, everytime the da was reconfigured, the pixmap would be overwritten with a new pixmap. However, the old pixmap was never removed. Essentially the program would use more and more memory, until it crashed. Is this normal behavior?

Thanks
