Actually, no, G_LOG_DOMAIN doesn't do any good here.

Most of the warnings people see are being generated instide
of GTK+ or GDK so they will have the GTK+ or GDK
log domain. The reason why people want this is because
a bunch of progams are all sending stderr to the same log
file, and you need to figure out what program is producing
the messages.

We aren't talking about trying to distinguish what library
or app is producing the messages within the same process.
