No, i don't do that. I simply get the PropertyBag, use it to get some
values (Bonobo_PropertyBag_getPropertyByName and
Bonobo_Property_getValue) and then release it again. I see very strange
behavior followed by segfaults after this.

Also, with the release_unref method commented out, i still get a crash.
It seems that in some cases, some variables are corrupted.

I could send you some code if that would help you understand the
problems i'm having.

So after a Bonobo_Property_getValue i need to do a bonobo_arg_release,
correct?

Thanks,
