So, if one of your functions takes several seconds to complete a task
and doesn't allow gtk events to be processed, your g_timeout callback
will not be called for those several seconds. I think this is similar
to how POSIX signals work, but they're a little more reliable. :)
If this behaviour is not what he wants, he should fallback to
multithreading (w/ all the gdk_threads_enter/leave stuff).
