Are you saying that you are manually tweaking the value of GTK_FLOATING,
rather than using g_object_ref() / gtk_object_sink() pair?

There is the possibility for a reference leak if someone sinks a
GtkObject using the new GObject API (so the GTK_FLOATING flag would be
incorrect), but gtk_object_sink() should still do the right thing.
