thanks, that's what I wanted to know. But I have some more questions: 1. Does the behaviour (about 'floating' references) also apply for (gtk+) objects created with g_object_new instead of gtk_object_new? 2. The GtkObject documentation says: "Never call g_object_unref() unless you have previously called g_object_ref() ..", however in the "HelloWorld" example of the TreeView tutorial [1] Tim writes: GtkTreeModel *model; ... model = create_and_fill_model (); /* function creates a ListStore with gtk_list_store_new */ gtk_tree_view_set_model (GTK_TREE_VIEW (view), model); /* The tree view has acquired its own reference to the * model, so we can drop ours. That way the model will * be freed automatically when the tree view is destroyed */ g_object_unref (model); ... Is this correct? Or it is safe to do so since gtk_tree_view_set_model implicit g_object_ref() call? Is there a document(ation) which describes more precisely how Gtk+/Glib manages the memory of the objects (I mean about those 'floating' references, etc)?
