Well at the time being I'm assuming I modified one of my own program's
structure's in a header file and didn't recompile all .c files that were
#including that header file.

Though the problem only triggered when I tried to unref.

I think the problem (your pixmap problem and my program) came about with
coding mistakes unrelated but some how unref'ing is deeply rooted in glib
(which the errors appeared from).

Okay, and I'll post again if this problem comes back, so far it hasn't
appeared at all today with gdk_font_unref() just after a gtk_style_copy().
