Yes, there are better solutions but they are heavy, this is quick and lean. Love it! The only problem is that typically GTK+ is built with PLT hacks, so the probes cannot intercept the calls. With a GTK+ built without the PLT manipulations, this should do exactly what you expect: 

#include <gtk/gtk.h>
#include <bprobe.h>
PKG_CONFIG_CFLAGS(gtk+-2.0)

PROBE
void
gtk_widget_show (GtkWidget *w)
{
        LOG ("gtk_widget_show");
        return SUPER(gtk_widget_show) (w);
}
