Re: Creating objects without deriving from GObject

[Ryan McDougall <NQG24419 nifty com>]

Thanks for the prompt reply Scott, I appreciate it! However there are
still some broader questions. GObjectClass provides dispose and finalize
methods; do I have to provide the same for my class? Are there no other
interactions I need to know about if I'm not deriving from GObject?

I failed to notice this detail, thanks for pointing it out. But a
question remains, why doesn't g_type_register_fundamental not call this
function without bothering to ask the user?

I indeed have read the preceding, and can guess what the first 3 flags
mean, but those simple half sentence explanations don't really tell me
what the flags imply. I guess I was hoping for more.

Thanks for the help!
