Ok, it is normal that the code is being invoked by the main loop.
Now, the issue is: why is the main loop not sitting on a select with a
null timeout?

Can you stack trace and see if either:

    1. gtk is waiting some time interval (the last parameter to select
       and poll) and if so, which timer routine gets invoked.

    2. gtk is "probing" for events (for poll this means, timeout is
       set to zero instead of -1) and if so, which are the idle
       handler routines invoked?
