Re: Fixed memory leaks in gdk-1.2.defs

I have reversed myself. The ->GdkType function is out, and
gdk_type_intern is in. The intern functions are generated automatically
when the conversion option is present.

The reason is a dual precedent:

  1. That's how it was before.

  2. GDK defines gdk_atom_intern, which clearly was the original model
     although it's not quite the same thing.
