[Cluttermm] Use of Glib::RefPtr<T> vs. Gtkmm

[Aarto Matti <aarto matti gmail com>]

Hello,

Why Glib::RefPtr<T> is used in Clutter for smart-pointer management everywhere and Gtkmm doesn't bother about that much?

We can create a button object with Gtk::Button *button = new Gtk::Button();

But we have to struggle in Clutter with that mess:

Glib::RefPtr<Clutter::Actor> actor = new Clutter::Actor::create();

and not do like this:

Clutter::Actor* actor = new Clutter::Actor();
