   Recently I tried GtkPerf but then didn't use it for my performance
analysis because of two reasons:

1. GtkPerf wasn't generic enough: I couldn't just tell it a name of
any widget and tell it to analyze it for me
2. I wanted/needed a programmer's tool (e.g a library) 

   So instead of using GtkPerf, i wrote my own testing code based on
Owen's suggestions and used that instead. I haven't librarified it
(yet) and you can have a look at it here if you want to:
