Hey, looking for example at osinfo_install_script_generate(), which is

    GMainLoop *loop = g_main_loop_new(g_main_context_get_thread_default(),
                                      TRUE);
    OsinfoInstallScriptGenerateSyncData data = {
        loop, NULL, NULL, NULL
    };

    osinfo_install_script_generate_async(script,
                                         os,
                                         config,
                                         cancellable,
                                         osinfo_install_script_generate_done,
                                         &data);

    if (g_main_loop_is_running(loop))
        g_main_loop_run(loop);

Isn't the way it's currently done going to catch cases when
osinfo_install_script_generate_done (and thus g_main_loop_quit()) ends up being
called synchronously at the moment osinfo_install_script_generate_async() is
called, while with your change, we'd wait forever for a g_main_loop_quit()
which never comes?
