It would help to see your code and hear your explanation of how you  
know the objects are not distinct copies.  I tried a simple script  
and could not reproduce your results.

Gtk2::Gdk::Pixbuf::copy() has a trivial implementation that calls  
gdk_pixbuf_copy() and transfers ownership of the new pixbuf to the  
caller.  gdk_pixbuf_copy()'s documentation claims that it returns  
either a new pixbuf or NULL, which is confirmed by a quick read of  
the source.  The origin of the source pixbuf (how many references, is  
it already a copy of something) is never queried, and the actual data  
of the pixbuf is a real in-memory duplicate of the original, via  
g_try_malloc() and memcpy().
