I'm currently debugging the 1.1. branch so my answer might not be
correct for your question:

Yes. set_label_date() leaks. But not due to the above line. It's the
QToolTip::add() that allocates too much memory on each call under
certain circumstances (I've sent an example to snapshot-users@troll.no
last night). I suspect that the routine should restrain from calling
connecting a signal to the widget each time. The fix I had on my disk
help with the example program but not with kpanel (that has more tool
tips as you said above).

Harri.
