I ran valgrind on trunk I couldn't see anything special. I also left lyx arunning for a long time no valgrind reports. So either the leak you see does not exist on trunk, or it is not a leak in the strict sense. That however does not mean that what you see is wrong. I used this suppression file when running whith valgrind. Some of the suppressions should be looked into, but they are very minor leaks.
