reference counts on pixmaps.....

[raster redhat com]

okay.. i didnt write gdk.. but...

it seems the reference countin on pixmaps doesnt work as i'd expect it
to.. ie..if i gdk_window_set_back_pixmap, i would expectt he count to
go up, and then i seta  new background, the previous backgorund pixmap
count goes down, the new one goes up, and if the count is zeor on the
pixmap, and a free is called its deleted, but calling
gdk_pixmap_destroy shoud destroy it if the ref count is <= 0. doethe
destory function does this.. but pixmaps are created with a ref count
of 1, so destorying sets the count to 0, but does not free it.. so i'd
need to call 2 destroy's.... shouldnt the ref count start at 0? and
setting background pixmaps should also add/del to ref counts.. and if
deleting should aslo call a funtion to check for a <= 0 count, and if
the "deleted" flag (destroyed) is set (the destroy function should set a
flag like this) and the count is <= 0 then it is actually freed.

any comments form those more initmate wiht gdk?
