I think (just think) that memory is not the main problem. It is that when other 
libraries lookup symbols, the search also includes that library, so if, for 
example
another library defines gtk_button_new a problem will raise. But anyway, that
seems a very stupid thing to do, so I doubt there is a real implication...

Guillaume:

I guess it saves the time to resolve the symbols at load time...

I think it doesn't, but no, I am not sure, maybe we can try it in a development 
version,
if a problem appears we just revert the change. 
Note that I know (at least I think so) how to fix this problem without the 
GLOBAL thing,
just by creating a custom GtkBuilder, but it is a much bigger piece of code.
