The widget still has the initial floating reference, and
gtk_object_destroy() does not release any references itself.
The method to get rid of a maybe-floating GtkObject in
situation like yours is some variation on
g_object_ref(object);
gtk_object_sink(object);
gtk_object_destroy(object);
g_object_unref(object);
(you can explicitely test object state instead and branch
the code...)
