I didn't see my last mail come through but here's my quote:

"the gobject code always keeps a version of the class intact
 (for quick reference at instantiation and for chaining)"

g_type_class_peek_parent() returns a pointer to the class structure that
is kept "intact", not the one that you overrided on your copy of that class.

HTH,
