GObject and reference counting?

[Darren Kenny <Darren Kenny ireland sun com>]

Hi,

GtkObject has the concept of a floating object, that could be 'new'ed and then
the initial reference count 'sink'-ed using gtk_object_sink... does any one
know if there is any intention to introduce this concept into GObject - it
would certainly be useful in the managing of memory.

Thanks,

Darren.
