I don't understand what you are asking, but GObject and GtkObject have
different memory management, as you say, so we handle them differently.
The Gtk::Object::destroy_notify_() method override handles the concept
of "managed", which does not exist for
Glib::Objectbase::destroy_notify(). There's similar cleverness to deal
with that elsewhere too.
