Yeah, fixed thanks.

This only is a question of a few wasted bytes per object and a bit of
conusion, of course, since the real determination of inheritance is
the call to g_type_register_static().

It would be wrong for a language binding parser to be trying to figure out 
object heirarchies by looking at the structures in the header files.
