I vote for:

 g_object_add_weak_pointer()
 g_object_remove_weak_pointer()

We're hardly in
nautilus_perform_operation_with_frobation_and_foobar_ensuring_precondition_xyz()
territory there. ;-) I don't think this is really common enough to
warrant a lame name, and anything is shorter than the old
gtk_signal_connect(gtk_widget_destroyed) rigmarole.
