Yes.

gtk_pixmap_new () does not pass you a reference; the new object has a
"floating" reference. To own a reference, you must call 
 gtk_object_ref (widget);
 gtk_object_sink (widget);

Normally the first container you pass the widget to will do
this. After sinking the widget, the floating reference will be
gone. No one can own the floating reference but anyone can remove it.

If you never hand the pixmap widget to an owner, that is you never put
it in a container, to get rid of it just do gtk_object_sink(widget)
which will strip the floating reference.
