But there you lose a reference. The GObject core will do an unref
AFTER it emitted all signals. Doesn't your object get killed after
the signal emission is done?

I think I'm not understanding the problem at all correctly. Can you include
a .gob file (one that works, not just one with some '...') so that I can
compile and see exactly what is happening, and that demonstrates the problem
you are seeing?

In the code snippets you sent it SHOULD be correct to have refcount 2 INSIDE
the signal handler. After the signal emission the refcount should be back to
1.
