Bug 223937: [patch] sysutils/xfce4-wavelan-plugin fix memory leak due to CSS

patch to fix memory leak due to Gtk3 CSS changes

The recent upstream changes to support Gtk3 CSS introduce a rampant memory leak
because the css_provider is re-created every time through the loop.  Attached
patch ensures that the css_provider is only created once.

I am attaching a FreeBSD port patch as this memory leak is significant and
needs an immediate fix.

I will also submit a bug report upstream in order to have this problem fixed
there, too.
