I've found it useful in my travels throughout GTK to write a small wrapper header file with collections of these things, which I then include right after standard ones. Each section of the wrapper is conditionally compiled if the associated GTK header has been loaded. Little things like I like those #define type casing macros, so I'll have a bunch of them for castings miscellaneous structs (is there actually a reason GTK provides casting macros for some structs but not others?). I've also got a couple special-purpose g_slist_free type functions that will release the data of a GSList as well as the list itself (one for g_malloc()d memory, one for GObjects, etc.), a GSList find and exchange/remove function, and some other gems that I find myself wanting all over the place. Basically every time I go hunting for a piece of code I'd previously written for something else, I'll drop it into one of my GTK-wrapper libraries. This sort of thing is exactly where a little extras library shines.
