Nope.

Currently:

	(1) to ref/unref the Gtk object, use: gtk_object_ref/unref: 
	(2) to ref/unref an *aggregate* gnome-object use: gnome_object_ref/unref
	(3) to ref/unref a *remote* GNOME object: GNOME_Unknown_ref/GNOME_Unknown_unref

We *could* probably make the ref/unref methods in Bonobo be virtual
methods of GnomeObject, so that we can override the behaviour for them
for GnomeObjectClient (and then have a unified handling for cases (2)
and (3)).
