	I don't quite understand what you're proposing; but here's how it
should work IMHO [ YMMV etc. ].

	When you invoke IDispose's dispose method it should map to:

	g_object_run_dispose (proxy);

	For a GObject and

	gtk_object_destroy (proxy)

	for a GtkObject. The semantic difference being small.
	
	Since GObject was designed for garbage collection / disposal in this
way, I would leave it's reference count untouched; either keeping 1
reference to it - or ref/decing it as you pass it around.

	Otherwise you'll have major problems; the sound of poking with the
underlying ref count is pretty ugly indeed [ but perhaps I
mis-understood you ].

	HTH,

		Michael.
