I believe I found a solution to this using g_object_weak_ref 
<http://library.gnome.org/devel/gobject/unstable/gobject-The-Base-Object-Type.html#g-object-weak-ref> 
<http://library.gnome.org/devel/gobject/unstable/gobject-The-Base-Object-Type.html#GWeakNotify> 
to notify the unwrapped instance when the gobject is destroyed.  This 
may enable casting from elements to interfaces that the underlying C 
object implements.  Thoughts?
