Description Bastien Nocera 2012-12-20 08:03:50 UTC 
This required the comment:
      /* Yes, this looks wrong, but it's a work around for the bad
       * refcounting in egg-list-box (and fixing that would require
       * changing every other user of it)
       */
In one of Giovanni's patches. We shouldn't have this problem.

Punting to the right component.
Comment 2 Alexander Larsson 2013-02-15 07:53:09 UTC 
The API isn't super nice, but its not all that easy to figure out a new model that satisfies the requirements. Its especially tricky for C code where constructors return floating widgets but we need to return a real ref.
Comment 3 Emanuele Aina 2013-06-24 16:20:46 UTC 
Ooi, does this still apply to GtkListBox? The way separators/headers are handled seems different enough that it should not be an issue there.
Comment 4 Alexander Larsson 2013-07-01 13:40:47 UTC 
Yeah, this is fixed in gtklistbox.
