I suppose you're using

gtk_list_store_set (store, &iter, STR_COLUMN, g_strdup (mystr), -1);

Please don't dup the data yourself, GTK+ will do this for you based on
the column type by calling the appropriate duplication routines. If you
want to insert complex data, either use GObjects (these will be unrefed
when they're removed from the model), or use plain structs and subclass
G_TYPE_BOXED.
