Re: Using g_object_get_data() in a NautilusMenuItem callback

[Boyd Timothy <boyd timothy ws>]

It turns out that I wasn't using files->data and that's what was 
causing the problem.  I added a g_object_unref (files->data) to the 
code, but I'm not sure if it's necessary.  What happens to the other 
menu items that are not activated in the context 
menu...nautilus_file_info_copy () does a g_object_ref () on each of the 
data parameters of the GList.  If the user doesn't select the context 
menu item, are those references automatically cleaned up somehow?
