Oh... now I start getting all these problems!
All came from Glib integration!
Basically before there was a loop were is was clear steps:
1- select
2- timers
3- fd events
4- guest events
5- push data to channel.
Now point 5 is just a GSource so you don't know if is the last and
you force an iteration to make sure you don't wait too much.

Well.. now I have another reason to prove that waiting to merge Glib loop code
was a good choice.

About how to solve this issue (GSources ordering)... I don't know!
Maybe using priorities. I'll have a look at Glib code.
