I think you should be able to use G_OBJECT with this, but I would like
to know why the object derives from GInitiallyUnowned instead of from
GObject. Maybe it should be used like GtkObject without depending on GTK
+. The author could tell you.

May I see the code, so I can try to debug this problem for you. Please
provide a tarball or repository checkout details, with information about
how to build it.
