Why shouldn't it?
They are unreffed, it just takes a little while getting used to reading the object oriented C code :) Notice: gtkbutton.c::realize() does what you say, get_parent_window(),g_object_ref(). gtkbutton.c::unrealize() does some gtkbutton specific things, and chains up to the parent implementation with: GTK_WIDGET_CLASS (gtk_button_parent_class)->unrealize (widget); gtkwidget.c::unrealize() is the implementation that it will fallback on, thats where widget->window will be unreffed if GTK_WIDGET_NO_WINDOW(widget).
