Re: Using glade and Actions

[Kjell Ahlstedt <kjell ahlstedt bredband net>]

Haven't you noticed the Gtk::Builder::get_object() method?

Its documentation says "Note that this function does not increment the 
reference count of the returned object." That's wrong. That sentence is 
there just because the documentation is copied from the documentation of 
gtk_builder_get_object().
