You have a point. The loop in bonobo_object_destroy should call
gtk_object_unref, not gtk_object_destroy.

On a more-selfish, Nautilus-related note, we should not make
bonobo_object_destroy private until we fix the circular reference problem in
bonobo_control_set_control_frame. This is keeping a reference in the control
to its control frame which also has a reference to the control. Until that
is dealt with, Nautilus must use bonobo_object_destroy to avoid leaking
every single view component it ever deals with.
