Comment 30 for bug 156697

As far as I know it has not been tested by anyone with a testing applet . I'd write an applet to test it but I don't do python...

That being said I have been running the patch for a few days now and I haven't seen anything that would indicate a memory leak and I do use both the weather applet and clock/cal which should be prime candidates. But that is just anecdotal of course.

My strong suspicion is that python is fine with this. But it would be nice if someone would write a an python applet that repeatedly, and at a high freq, uses set_temp_icon. If there are any leaks it should show up within a few minutes.
