Yes, perhaps a poor choice of words. My intention was to say that the
MainDispatcher does not own these objects, and therefore does not have to free
them in the destructor. If they were GObjects, we would probably take a
reference, but they're not.

Yeah, sort of. But I did it for a couple of reasons:
- RedDispatcher already "inherits" QXLWorker, and inheritance of this sort only
really works if the parent type is the first member within the struct
- Most of the internals of the Dispatcher struct were moved to an internal
private struct anyway, so embedding the struct here doesn't really gain you
much. You can't access that private data directly.
So in my mind the only real difference is how the memory is allocated: either as
part of the RedDispatcher, or separately in the red_dispatcher_init() function.
Since there's only a very small number of dispatcher objects and they live the
entire life of the the application, that doesn't strike me as a very big deal.
Do you object to this change?
