> From what I understand the point of DEFINE_STATIC_LOCAL is to work around a compiler bug to ensure that the variables contained are cleaned up at exit. If that's not happening it seems like a bug in DEFINE_STATIC_LOCAL. So GRefPtr may work here, but perhaps not for all compilers.

// Use these to declare and define a static local variable (static T;) so that                                                                                                               
//  it is leaked so that its destructors are not called at exit. Using this                                                                                                                  
//  macro also allows workarounds a compiler bug present in Apple's version of GCC 4.0.1.
