It's the following situation:
I'm calling g_io_channel_read_line(), GError says "invalid byte sequence
in input", so it can't convert the string. This happens almost everytime
I read from the GIOChannel which causes my application's window not to
be redrawn anymore. When I lower the priority of the GIOChannel, my
windows are updated again.

Is there any way to set the function called by g_io_channel_read_line()
to convert the input from the socket? Using g_convert_with_callback()
would help me.
