You are confusing still-allocated-and-reachable memory with leaks.  Gtk+
caches lots of stuff, possibly Pango contexts, which cache cairo and
fontconfig things, etc.  Unless you can prove that no one above pango is
keeping any Pango / cairo / fontconfig objects around, you can't expect those
three pieces to fully clean up their caches.
