Ok, thanks. This is a bit of an overkill for what I need, as all I need
to do is ref the widget at the start of the program, and not worry about
it (the UI widgets that I need this for frequently swap, and  are
required for the duration of the program as it is).

Along related lines, if I unref a widget, and that unref'ing takes the
ref count to 0, does gtk automatically remove the widget (and any
widgets packed within that widget) from memory?

Cheers
