Thank you for trying this.

That's counting instances of the Ruby classes, which I agree are being
freed. But the underlying GObjects are not being unreffed.

If you put a breakpoint on vips_object_finalize(), for example, it is
never called.

How can I get gobject-introspection to call g_object_unref() whan an
object is removed by GC?

Yes, I'm using 2.2.4.
