Multiple main loops in multiple threads was a new feature in GLib-2.0.

Search for GMainContext in:

 http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/glib/glib-The-Main-Event-Loop.html

You'll find that while there are functions that implicitely use
a default context, like g_main_new(). (Most deprecated, including
g_main_new()), there are also versions taking an explicit context
like g_main_loop_new().
