[Inkscape-devel] SPDesktop

I just had a look at the SPDesktop code and noticed that you're not inheriting from GC::Anchored anymore.

That's not safe. Without the anchor, how is the garbage collector supposed to know that the SPDesktop shouldn't be collected while the desktop widget still references it? Remember that the desktop widget isn't and can't be managed by the collector itself...

If you do switch to manual allocation with the collector like that in the future, please also switch to GC::ManagedGC::SCANNED, GC::MANUAL instead of GC::Managed<>, so the object won't get automatically collected.

(GC::Managed defaults to SCANNED and AUTO)
