extending the event loop

[Anthony Dean <gtk-app-devel-list aynet dyndns org>]

Hello,

I'm having a problem with something that is probably fairly simple.  I'm 
writing a normal(ish) keyboard/mouse application that needs to treat 
input from a serial port like keyboard input.

I think I understand the idea behind g_source_* and g_main_*, but I 
don't see how to add the gdk events (Expose/Destroy/...).  Using 
gtk_main_iteration_do() everything works fine, but none of my own input 
sources work; using g_main_context_iteration() my input sources work, 
but the normals events don't...  Is this documented somewhere, or is 
there some example code I can look at?

Thanks,
Anthony

ps. I'm using gtk2-2.2.1 and glib2-2.2.1.
