[ROOT] TGString and TGText not derived from TObject

Dear Rooters

To prevent memory leaks caused by e.g.:
   fFrame->AddFrame(new TGLabel(fFrame,new TGString("Author Name:")),
             new TGLayoutHints(kLHintsTop | kLHintsLeft));

I converted this line to:
   fCleanup = new TList;
   vL1 = new TGLayoutHints(kLHintsTop | kLHintsLeft);
   fCleanup->Add(vL1);
   TGString *vStr = new TGString("Author Name:");
   fCleanup->Add(vStr);
   TGLabel vLab = new TGLabel(fFrame,vStr);
   fCleanup->Add(vLab);
   fFrame->AddFrame(vLab, vL1);

Sorrowly, I cannot add TGString to fCleanup since it is not derived
from TObject.

Is there a certain  reason, why TGString, TGText and TGTextBuffer
are not derived from TObject? Is it possible to change this?

Thank you in advance

Best regards
Christian
