This is about memory leaks and GTK

"gtk_widget_destroy() doesn't do memory management"

"
... when you call gtk_button_new() nobody owns the button
until someone "adopts" the initial reference, so nobody
is going to drop the reference in response to destroy().

Generally, if you want to have a widget that you may or 
not add to a parent, the thing to do is:

When you create the widget:

 b = gtk_button_new ();
 /* Adopt the initial reference */
 g_object_ref (G_OBJECT (b));
 gtk_object_sink (GTK_OBJECT (b));

When you want to get rid of the widget:

 /* Tell other people to drop their references */
 gtk_object_destroy (GTK_OBJECT (b));
 /* Drop your own reference */;
 g_object_unref (GTK_OBJECT (b));
