I was thinking about this just the other day actually.  It would be a 
very interesting project for someone to work on.

A good first step is to make sure that we use glib functions whenever 
possible.  This would be a nice easy-fix project for someone who wants 
to get involved.

For example, one could replace instances of POSIX system calls with the 
glib stdio replacements [1].

Another thing to do is make sure we don't use gdkx stuff.
