I just want to catch up with the holes in the documentation.
Experimental printf statements to dump ref counter values are good to
understand which API function is adding a reference and which takes
ownership. The total confusion in GTK about this serious topic
(compared to Cocoa for example) is driving me crazy.

And a tool that just dumps me which objects are still alive would be
very helpfull too. MacOSX and MFC have features like this. Maybe GTK
is really just another toy?
