Is thats righ? I'm not sure. The library:

     /usr/lib/refdbg/libgobject-2.0.so.0.2200.3

should be a drop in replacement for /usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.so.0.2200.3
and pkg-config should be finding the pkg-config file for that ok while
the LD_LIBRARY_PATH setting should be replacing the /usr/lib/ version
with the /usr/lib/refdbg version.
