Calling g_main_context_invoke() will ensure that the main context is owned and acquired during the invocation. As I said, it will do the right thing depending on the type of context you are using. > As far as I can see from the function documentations g_main_context_invoke > seems useful when having multiple contexts on different threads, I'm wrong? Correct, but remember that different libraries may have different contexts in different threads already by the time you call your code. It's also a good rule of thumb to start using this function, as it will be more efficient once you start using API like GTask, with its own main context.
