Please don't, this list is for discussing development of
the glib and gtk+ libraries, not applications using it.

No, this is not possible. GObjects are allocated through
g_slice which uses posix_memalign and falls back on g_malloc
for very big chunks (greater than 1kb). See glib/glib/gmem.h
for an API related to malloc hooks.
