I don't think this method will work -- I'm pretty sure GTypes (esp
static types) never get destroyed, even after their last instance is
destroyed.
Probably your best bet would be to create your shared data in the
instance_init function on first run (just make it a static global var in
the file), and then refcount it. When your last instance is destroyed,
the refcount of the shared data drops to zero and you can destroy it.
