Ideally, the docs contain this information. ;-) 

But when they don't, you have to go digging same as for any other
undocumented stuff.

(As a general rule, the idiom you had of "handing off" ownership is
never used except for GtkObject because GtkObject has the "floating"
state. So there is no case in GDK where you can create a resource
without owning it or a reference to it AFAIK. You can only do that
with widgets and GtkAdjustment.)
