Well.. I didn't understand what you realy wants, but I'll try.. :)
when the window reference count gets 0, it's free'd using g_free(..)..
so the memory it was using is cached by glib, and the next call to g_malloc(..)
will probably use it again, hiding this from the kernel..

If you realy need to free(..) the memory, you'll need to deal with glib internals..
from what I know, it would be easier g_free(..) (what gtk_.._unref() will do for you) and then, with the same 
pointer, free(..).. but be careful, you still have to remove this memory space from the glib's cache..

Was that you wanted?
