[Original Report]

In Bluefish we get a lot of bugreports from users on Ubuntu 11.10 that
have a segfault and all backtraces have something weird: a
GtkTreeModelSort is calling it's sort function after the model has been
unreffed by bluefish already.

This behaviour cannot be reproduced on Fedora 16 which also has Gtk-3.2.

Checking with libgobject-list (from http://people.gnome.org/~mortenw
/gobject-list.c) reveals that on Ubuntu there is a GtkTreeModelSort
leaking, that is not leaking on Fedora 16.

After a gdb breakpoint g_object_ref and g_object_unref with a condition
object == 0x123123123 (the pointer of the GtkTreeModelSort) and doing a
backtrace for each break, I found which function does not clean it's
reference count:

I don't know what causes this leak. It might be Ubuntu specific patches
on gtk, the gtk theme that Ubuntu is using, or accesibility settings
that default to a different value on Ubuntu (both on Ubuntu and Fedora I
did not change any accessibility option from the default setting).
