Sounds pretty fair, though I think key snooper would also be a
"non-immediate" type callback, ie. like a signal emission it comes out
of somewhere deep in g_main_iterate (or whatever).  Or alternately think
of it as convenience so that (like a signal emit) an error there doesn't
kill the whole main loop.

I'd be surprised if a few didn't leak some memory at least though :-)
