right, since the floating flag is stored in GObject in 2.9, so altering
the GtkObject won't have any effect.

gtkmm 2.8 depends on glib/gtk 2.8, right? then you don't have
g_object_force_floating() there. would it be of any help to you
if glib 2.8 had g_object_force_floating() already (whether function
or not)?
