[ruby-gnome2-devel-en] How to release memory of unused widgets?

[Leonard T. <th...@pr...>]

Hello,

I wonder how I am supposed to release memory after I do not need a 
widget anymore.
Should I use destroy()? Or unref()? Or is the binding taking care of 
releasing memory after I removed the widget from its parent and I do not 
have to worry?

In a more complex project I am working on I use a FileChooserWidget 
which causes segmentation faults when I destroy it and afterwards change 
folder content which I previously watched.
This is because the FileChooserWidget does not properly clean up after 
itself when I call destroy() on it and so it tries to execute callbacks 
that make no sense after destroying...

I have read a lot about memory management in GTK but could not find an 
exact answer to my questions for the ruby bindings. Hope to find some 
insights here.

Kind regards,
Leonard
