Yes, our Gtk::Object lets us avoid forcing use of RefPtr for many more
types now that GtkObject is dead. I thought that using RefPtr for
CellRenderer would be a step too far. I could change my mind though.

FileFilter, RecentFilter, and Adjustment, however, must now (in gtkmm 3)
be used via RefPtr.

Yes, that's generally true.
