What does it mean "set a glist to a name"?

And the code is?

You cannot get these errors from g_object_get_data().
So what you really do?

    g_object_set_data(G_OBJECT(object), "key", pointer);
    ...
    /* later */
    pointer = g_object_get_data(G_OBJECT(object), "key");

Of course, object must still exist.
