Re: GTK warning

[Dov Grobgeld <dov grobgeld gmail com>]

The message means exactly what it sais, that you try to reduce the ref count
of an object that doesn't exist. If it is a C-program the way to trace this
is to rerun the program with the flag g-fatal-warnings in which case the
program will exit such that if you run the program in a debugger, the error
will be caught and you can examine the stack and the reason for the error.

But since the example you give is in Python this probably means that there
is an error in the python binding. You should try to create a minimum
example that triggers the problem and try to create a bug report.
