Yes, container classes are supposed to be referencing the objects they
hold. And they are. (I think). Notice how when a child gets added to a
container "gtk_widget_set_parent" is called which calls
"gtk_object_ref". This takes care of 99% of the cases where a child is
added to a parent. Grep for "gtk_object_ref" to find the other
cases. Of course, there might be a few bugs in this code, but it
seemed to work ok when I did some (minimal) testing of it.
