	the ref counting is relatively complicated between BonoboControl and
BonoboPlug, see libbonoboui/doc/control.txt. I forget the precise
details, but I'm hesitant to go chasing in there.

	Are you certain that you unref your BonoboControl after adding it to
the UIContainer:

	bonobo_ui_component_object_set (
		uic, "/foo", BONOBO_OBJREF (ctl), NULL);
!!!	bonobo_object_unref (ctl);

	HTH,

		Michael.
