Could it be possible, somehow to write a system that loads into memory only 
code for the widgets that are currently used by any application ?

It would not save space on secondary memory, but surely in primary.

The below mentioned method sounds nice for minimizing the secondary memory 
usage on systems where the designer has total control of which GTK 
application are used in the system. i.e. it does not allow the user to load 
any new software, without compiling a new GTK.
