I looked at memory usage using 'top' and 'free' while running the
application and found that memory kept on increasing without decreasing when
i destroyed a window and finally application was terminated by MVL.
Meanwhile 'valgrind'  is not supported on arm-linux platform so i am not
able to get more details. I'll try to run it on a x86 linux PC with
valgrind.
