-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----Hash: SHA1 Hi last week I had the same question. I assign new memory in the instance_init function (GInstanceInitFunc) and overridethe dispose function of the GObjectClass parent class (in the class_init func). Perhaps this http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-list/2008-November/msg00016.html may help you.
