This is the key I think. The point of my theoretical rant is that I
think it's really bad if I do:

 obj = g_object_new(TYPE_WHATEVER);

and don't know whether I own a refcount or not. The programmer needs to
know this.

Changing the GtkObject parent class seems likely to break ABI to me...

Otherwise the API you sketched out seems fine.
