MiniObject.setQdata

This sets an opaque, named pointer on a miniobject. The name is specified through a GQuark (retrieved e.g. via g_quark_from_static_string()), and the pointer can be gotten back from the object with MiniObject.getQdata until the object is disposed. Setting a previously set user data pointer, overrides (frees) the old pointer set, using NULL as pointer essentially removes the data stored.

destroy may be specified which is called with data as argument when the object is disposed, or the data is being overwritten by a call to MiniObject.setQdata with the same quark.
