Aye, I am okay with the refptr idea, what is weird in that case is ...

	Glib::Refptr<foo> & ref_bar;
	                  ^
      	            |
            	       --------------- erm ...

So that would give me a C++ reference to a Glib::Refptr, I thought you would
maybe want  ...

	Glib::Refptr<Glib::Refptr<foo> > ref_bar;

Or possibly, just ...

	Glib::Refptr<foo> ref_bar = ref_someOtherBar;



Hopefully that is a little more clear.

Cheers mate,
