Yes, this is working as designed.

When you create a new window with gtk_window_new, you don't get a ref. The
window "owns itself", and it will unref itself when it's destroyed. To make
it go away, you can do gtk_object_destroy (GTK_OBJECT (w)).

(If you do a g_object_ref before that, it will be destroyed but not freed
until you do a g_object_unref.)
