-Subject: [PATCH] tabpopup: fix cairo surface leak
-
-Commit 6b05da5e49996a2101edfd703dd3f5d91011d726 introduced a Cairo
-surface leak, by calling gdk_cairo_surface_create_from_pixbuf() but then
-never freeing those surfaces with cairo_surface_destroy().
-
-This manifested in leaking resources when switching between virtual
-desktops, as observed using xrestop ("Pxms" column), which made the
-desktop slow and ultimately unusable after a few weeks of uptime.
-
-Fixes #685
