A small correction: use g_main_context_invoke() instead, as it will always do the right thing. The only reason to prefer gdk_threads_add_idle() to g_idle_add() (or g_main_context_invoke()) is that your own code may depend on additional libraries that still attempt at acquiring the GDK thread lock — i.e. they use gdk_threads_enter()/gdk_threads_leave() inside a separate thread to mark a critical section. No newly written, maintained, or portable code should do that, so you can safely use g_idle_add() or, better yet, g_main_context_invoke().
