I an object class that I would like to allow users to destroy in the usual way (with g_object_unref), but since it needs to be mounted on a GtkDrawingArea, it should also destroy itself when the GtkDrawingArea is destroyed. I have mostly achieved this by using a weak reference formed by my object to the GtkDrawingArea it mounts on which when the notify goes off g_object_unref's my object as well. In addition, I have a g_object_weak_unref() in my object's dispose method which makes it safe for users to g_object_unref it and then later destroy the DrawingArea it was mounted on whithout the weak ref handler going off again and causing trouble. The problem is that when dispose runs after the GtkDrawingArea (and, consequently, my object) has been destroyed, I get a warning like this: (<unknown>:31281): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: gobject.c:1287: couldn't find weak ref 0x8054056(0x424d8fe0) since the weak reference is apparently cleared away when the object it points to goes, which apparently happens before the dispose method for my object is called. I am just wondering what the best gtkish way to deal with this is? Thanks, Britton Kerin __ GNU GPL: "The Source will be with you... always."
