gobject warning

["zaheer ahmad" <zaheer mot gmail com>]

hi,
iam using glib gobject and when doing a g_object_new i get the following warning and the program hangs with warning in gtype.c
"specified instance size for type '' is smaller "
                     "than the parent type's `%s' instance size""

not sure when this would happen, i have instantiated my object using G_DEFINE_TYPE. so the instance size is returned by the macro.

thanks in advance for any inputs.

Regards,
Zaheer
