two suggestion:
1.) http://refdbg.sf.net
a ref-count debugger with gdb integration and so on

2.) in my unit tests I use:
gboolean g_object_checked_unref(GObject *obj)
{
  gpointer objref;
  g_object_add_weak_pointer((gpointer)obj,&objref);
  g_object_unref((gpointer)obj);
  return(objref == NULL);
}

I call this when unreffing an object which should have no further
references, thus is supposed to be destroyed.
It returns TRUE if that worked.
