Are you sure that your dynamic type is being completely destroyed when you 
unload?  I don't remember the details but I did spend some time trying to get 
a plugin with a dynamic type to handle unloading and reloading and eventually 
convinced myself it was impossible and decided just to prevent unloading 
instead.

I don't know much about GType but it seems that even dynamic types are not 
designed to support unloading code.
