Sorry, I was not explicit, but this is what I meant by "returning
immediately", as opposed to creating a thread to handle the call (as all
the other methods).

For me, the main point of _complete_in_idle() was to make sure that the
callback gets called in the main thread rather than in a random thread.
Since g_task_return_*() handles this properly, there is indeed no
_in_idle() variant.
In my opinion, it's no big deal whether the callback gets run from an
idle or directly as long as this happens in the 'right' thread. If you
want to keep the 'run in idle' behaviour, I guess you could run
g_task_return_*() in a g_idle_add() callback, and avoid the spawning of
a thread.
