No, g_list_free() frees the list, regardless of what, if anything the
data is. It does not call g_free() on the data, as it does not know if
they are pointers to g_malloc'd memory or something else, e.g. integers.
see the Note

http://library.gnome.org/devel/glib/2.10/glib-Doubly-Linked-Lists.html#g-list-free

which says

g_list_free ()
void        g_list_free                     (GList *list);

Frees all of the memory used by a GList. The freed elements are returned
to the slice allocator.

Note
If list elements contain dynamically-allocated memory, they should be
freed first.
