In first place, I think that you don't need to connect the destroy signal,
the sheet will be destroyed automaticaly with the window, and free the
memory.

I also have the impression that the proper way is using
gtk_object_unref(GTK_OBJECT(mysheet));

Apparently, this function calls both: gtk_object_destroy, and
gtk_object_finalize

Tell me if it works out.
