There _are_ no destroyed objects in GTK+-2.0. The gtk_widget_destroy()
operation indicates "release all references to this object" and
is used in conjunction with reference counting to avoid the reference
count loops that pure reference counting leads to, especially
when combined with language bindings that automatically reference
count objects.
