You don't.

If you wish to do so, then you might have two situations:

- refcounted structures: then add a copy function which is actually a 
ref function, and a free function which is an unref function.
- statically allocated structures: then set the copy and free functions 
to a dummy handler which does nothing.
If your case is not one of those, then you should make it so it is one 
of those. Glib needs a way to know your struct won't disappear without 
it noticeing.
