not in GtkObject, since this is valid code (apart from GTK_TYPE_OBEJCT
being abstract):
o = g_object_new (GTK_TYPE_OBJECT, NULL);
gtk_object_unref (o);
the object will be correctly destroyed but never had someone resetting its
floating flag (e.g. for a widget that means it got never added to a container).

for GtkWindow i don't see how you'd condition the warning, as
its always finalize which removes the window from the toplevel list.
(i'd not be opposed to warn about what's martin doing, but there's
no real way to detect someone screwing refcounts).
