I don't think so. However, maybe you can try to achieve a similar effect
by creating a special "debugging" theme for GTK? For instance, colouring
all HBoxes, VBoxes and Tables in a flamboyant red or green should
provide you with good ideas about which area is occupied by the layout
container and which is by the actual widgets.

See:
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/gtk-Resource-Files.html
, especially the "Styles" section.
