background: Fix reference counting in background XML loader

Commit b9e3603b added an unref to fix a
memory leak, but it went to a wrong place -- in XML loader, all items
are stored in a hash table that takes ownership of them, and destroyed
when the hash table goes away.

This commit fixes the reference counting in the XML loader and adds
explicit g_object_ref / g_strdup when inserting values to the hash table
to make the memory management more obvious.

The following commit fixes the real leak.
