Hey Ravi,

so what problem are you facing exactly? From what I understand you have
an nsplugin that creates a socket and loads a plug from somewhere.
Please correct me if I misunderstand the scenario. And I assume you are
in charge of the socket and plug code. So both are GtkWidgets which
have the usual finalize, dispose and destroy, plus the "plug-removed"
signal on GtkSocket.

I haven't used this in a while since it is somewhat messy, so it would
be good if you could provide more context about what you are doing and
what is not working.

Yours,
