Yes, its been discussed. If you hunt through the gtk-devel-list
archives, you'll find a post from Havoc Pennington where he discusses
some experiments he made using the Boehm GC.
The trouble with depending on a garbage collector is one of
integrating with other software which doesn't use a garbage collector,
or uses an incompatible garbage collector. For that reason, it's not
practical at the present time to depend on one for GTK+.
