That was the plan.  I can add one function call in GC, but it would still
be a GTK specific solution and make alloc.c dependent on USE_GTK.
Also, I imagine I have to declare this function in a .h-file, so
now alloc.c must also include and depend on that file.

I really prefer general solutions before specific ones to reduce
coupling.
