This is what we are referring to.  We'll just be making hooks in ruby to
provide alternative file descriptor watching, timeouts etc. (mainloop).. I
(and I assume everyone else) have no intention of making it GTK specific at
all.  It's just that that's what I/we will be using for the test case, and
the one I am interested in fixing using this :)
