Wow, that sounded allarming :-/

This is untrue, when your window is destroyed/finalized,
all memory allocated for signal marshalling will be freed.

gobject.c:
g_object_last_unref()
{
    /*...*/
    g_signal_handlers_destroy (object);
    /*...*/
    G_OBJECT_GET_CLASS (object)->finalize (object);
    /*...*/
}
