   g_free is used to free a memory region, g_object_unref decreases
the reference count on a GObject (or any derivitaves ofcourse).
(when the reference count drops to 0, all the resources attatched to
that object are released).

g_object_set_data just sets a pointer to a string typed hash map attatched
to the object in question.
