STR:
- Create a new add-on with the following main.js (and nothing else):
require("widget");
- cfx xpi
- Install xpi in a fresh profile
- Disable add-on again
- Go about:memory?verbose
- Minimize memory usage
- Wait a couple of minutes, just to be sure
- Minimize memory usage
-> Observe that all the jetpack compartments are still present

Tested and affected SDK versions: 1.3, 1.4.2
Tested with the latest Win64 Nightly
Just to make sure that it is not just a broken Nightly:
Same issue can be observed under Firefox 10 Win32/Oneric x86_64
(The compartments are unnamed, except for the bootstrap.js compartment, due to lack of auto sandboxName support)
Whiteboard: [MemShrink]
Actually, it now seems more likely that the culprit might be in addon-kit/windows.
addon-kit/windows and addon-kit/tabs leak as well, but addon-kit/widget and addon-kit/tabs require addon-kit/windows.
Whiteboard: [MemShrink] → [MemShrink:P2]

I've tested that against reddit-panel example, and it doesn't leak anymore.

Looks good. Can't reproduce this issue anymore with the referenced fix included. All compartments for widget modules are gone.
