Well, the mem leak was related to unfreed XFontStruct's
allocated by blitz_getfont(...). It was also present in wmiiwm,
wmimenu, wmikeys. I think it should be fixed now.
Because of this phenomen, we will only allow to set a font per
process (wmiiwm, wmibar, wmimenu, wmikeys) and not per object
(frame, label, etc.). For colors it doesn't seem to raise any
problems, because pixel values are readonly in X world.
