Mention g_object_run_dispose correctly in tutorial (1.98 KB, patch)

Description Murray Cumming 2010-09-28 07:38:09 UTC 
The "Object memory management" section of the glib documentation
  http://library.gnome.org/devel/gobject/unstable/gobject-memory.html
mentions g_object_dispose(), which does not seem to exist. Maybe it did once - it's also mentioned in a warning in g_type_module_dispose(), also apparently wrongly.
Comment 1 Christian Dywan 2010-09-28 09:06:29 UTC 
It most likely was meant to say g_object_run_dispose() which does break references as described there.
