It should be easy to create such functionality by inside a new type that 
uses GTimer to do the actual timing.  Translate pause/resume on your new 
type into stop/start on an underlying timer.  Just before calling 
g_timer_start on resume get the result of g_timer_elapsed and add it to 
a tally of "extra time".  The actual elapsed time will be the sum of 
this "extra time" and the result of calling g_timer_elapsed on the 
underlying GTimer.
