[00:02] <Keybuk> Amaranth: but then how do you free a child object you're the owner of? :)
[00:02] <Amaranth> Well, with GInitiallyUnowned the idea is to sink the floating reference right away
[00:03] <Keybuk> ion_: the way I'd do that is just to have the objects allocated parent-less
[00:03] <Amaranth> it's meant to be used so you can create a widget then add it to a container without having to unref your copy afterward
[00:03] <Keybuk> and do the refcounting in the object
[00:03] <Keybuk> (see upstart's own Event object, that's ref counted)
[00:05] <ion_> Yep... I was kind of hoping to have the support for that in the allocator itself, but that works, too.
[00:06] <ion_> How about relicensing libnih as LGPL so i can use it in stuff i’m going to release LGPLed? ;-)
[00:22] <monchevique> is this forum about art
[00:22] <monchevique> ?
[00:23] <ion_> :-D
[00:23] <monchevique> what does ":-D" MEAN?
[04:55] <Keybuk> ion_: why not release your stuff GPLed? :)
