It could be that "fileselectionfensterglobal" was part of a memory "block"
that wasnt freed yet (isnt there some kind of memory anti-fragmentation
algorythm in the g_new/g_free interface ?).

or, you might want to check:
   g_print("count: %d\n", 
G_OBJECT(fileselectionfensterglobal)->ref_count);
before calling "destroy". if the ref_count is greater that 1; it wont 
get destroyed
untill there are no more references.
