this was only a small example; it doesn't matter where I put that RefPtr,
for example with this,


int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  Gtk::Main kit(argc, argv);
  Gtk::Window window;

  { // note this extra compound block.
    Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::Display> refDisplay = Gdk::Display::get_default();
  }

  Gtk::Main::run(window);
  return 0;
}

this crashes in the destructor before reaching run.

btw, i'm not seeing why you have suggested the destruction of the RefPtr
before entering run().
