I managed to get this going, and found that it was failing because I was
using gtk_init_check(...) THEN gnet_init(...).  If I used gnet_init(...)
first it was fine?!?! Perhaps this should be documented?

Also, if I used g_io_channel_read_chars(...) and there is NOTHING to read,
should it return with 0 bytes OR should it wait for more input then return?
