[Discussion] Did you ever forget to un_ref any GObject?

[Luis de Bethencourt]

The contrary happens to me. I tend to forget some of the situations where
you don't need to unref, I unref and then it segfaults. I think I do this
mostly due to the positive reinforcement of segfaults being a lot easier to
fix than memory leaks.

Over time you stop checking the documentation and start internalizing it.
