Atk is mostly just a set of gobject-based interfaces, but atk-bridge (the 
code that exposes ATK objects over AT-SPI) currently assumes a glib main 
loop in a few places (there are a couple of g_idle_add calls, and it sets 
up its dbus connections to integrate with the glib main loop).

So I'm not sure what makes the most sense; perhaps those could be 
abstracted somehow, as is done with libdbus for instance, although I'm not 
sure off-hand if glib itself assumes somewhere that a main loop is 
running.
