Re: How to use PROP_TYPE_BUTTON?

I think the object get copied itself. I traced down and get to this line 
in lib/propdialogs.c, in function prop_dialog_add_property()
        if ((prop->even_handler) && (!dialog->obj_copy))
                dialog->obj_copy =                                      
dialog->orig_obj->ops->copy(dialog->orig_obj);
