I haven't read the code, but probably the vbox can be temporarily removed from its container and should not cease to exist when this happens so a reference is taken on it. > I thought that after > glade_palette_init returns, the local references are gone? What local references? When you reference an object you own a reference until you explicitly release it or until the end of the program, whichever comes first. > P.S. Looking for the meaning of the gtk_object_sink call, at > http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/GtkObject.html#gtk-object-sink > I see it's deprecated. g_object_ref_sink should be called instead In newly written code. Is this newly written code? Using g_object_ref_sink() instead of gtk_object_sink() makes your program require GLib 2.10+ without any practical benefit. If your program already requires GLib 2.10+ because you make use of its features then of course use g_object_ref_sink().
