you are trying to get around gtk+ to abuse it - I wouldn't expect gtk+
to accomodate the use coming from an application that's clearly abusing
how gtk+ works.

the GTK+ 2.x GUI for vim should really create a GMainLoop source that's
spinning the low-level main loop - or go the other way around, and spin
the main loop from within the low-level main loop, it's not really
important - instead of starting/spinning/stopping the main loop inside
the event handling code. as I said, that is abusing how gtk+ is supposed
to work.

there is a reason why gtk+ saves the recently used file and the
clipboard when the main loop level reaches zero: leaving the application
data in a consistent state.

 Emmanuele.
