IIRC this was not meant to be applied to libraries that inject pointers to objects implemented inside them into other libraries' code, they where meant to be used for libraries where the life cycle of each object can be tracked by UNO reference counting. > Not that we actually attempt to unload any unloadable modules at the > moment anyway as far as I can see.

A possible approach to find a point in time where they can/should be called ia by registering listeners at the Desktop or the Service Manager. When these objects die it's a safe bet that noone will access any code in e.g. Writer anymore.
