So I have another question regarding the reference counting in API
functions. Here is what Wolfgang wrote:
"A more serious problem with the API is that at least the function
clutter_container_add_actor, but probably many other functions too,
keep a pointer to an object without increasing the reference count;
the caller must "know" that and either increase the refcount, or
simply discard the pointer. This may be an optimization but is
inconvenient, and hasn't changed in 0.9."
So is there a reason (performance? memory fragmentation?) that the API
is not "refcount safe"?
