looks like i was wrong.  i still see the memleak.  clicking on and off a 
smallish SVG icon in the file chooser progressively adds about 0.1MB to 
xfce-mcs-manager each click.  clicking on and off xpm or png images 
doesn't do that.  i'll have to look into it more and start bugging the 
librsvg people again.  unfortunately, when i originally filed the bug, 
they indignantly declared that there was no way they had a memleak, and 
blamed it on libxml2.  then the libxml2 guy jumped in and said he has a 
comprehensive suite of regression tests that get run before every 
release, and there's no way he had a memleak.  *sigh*.  i hate 
egotistical people.  i suppose it's also possible that the problem lies 
in the gdk-pixbuf loader for SVG, so i'll poke around there as well.  
fortunately, the loader comes with librsvg itself, so i won't have to go 
bugging anyone else.
