The problem is that the python object holds a reference to the GtkObject
through a call to gtk_object_ref. This reference will be decremented with
gtk_object_unref when the python object is destroyed. If the GtkObject
also held a reference (using Py_INCREF), then we would have a circular
dependency.

Now in order to have the same python object refer to a particular

the gtk object is in use). This forms a circular dependency,
It doesn't, since the Python collector knows nothing about Gtk
objects.
