Glad I could!

You're right. pick_head() gets the value from screen_area(), which in 
turn creates it using g_slice_new(). This would also explain the SIGABRT 
I was getting when I naively used g_free().

Looking at place_client(), I see that it already fetches the same data. 
So why not use that instead? This way, we get a little less overhead.

I've put the patches on github to avoid sending out modified versions of 
the same patch over and over again:
