Gee. Last week I started seeing this leaking problem, as well as reversed colors in YouTube (blue skin, orange skies, bright green seems to not have changed).

I thought it was just me.

Good! Now I know it will be fixed eventually, if I don't get it to work first.

Thank you, F/OSS community.

Blue skin and orange skies indicate a byte-order reversal (RGB turned into BGR).

Turning off hardware acceleration solved both problems, leak and color inversion.
