The linked bug #784890 was marked as fixed, but the g_variant_parse leak in menuitem_property_idle still is present in libdbusmenu-0.6.2 in precise, according to massif (attached). And while I'm not sure I would have spotted it on my own, reading JKL's detailed explanation above and looking at the current source reads like the condition described is still present; if g_variant_unref is not effective on the return value of g_variant_parse, then there's nothing freeing it.
