        You should just destroy the container and everything goes away;
the lifecycle of the Control should be coupled to the plug / socket. Last
time I had a drive on reference counting issues it worked fine.

        I wrote a load of code to help debug this sort of problem; I'm    
looking at it here; if you turn on BONOBO_REF_HOOKS in bonobo then you    
will get some ( hopefully ) helpful printouts on ref / unref.
