Use it.  That's what it's there for.

The GTK main loop does just about everything you need it to.  Monitoring I/O streams, timeouts, idlers, and 
just about anything else you can conceive of.

It takes a bit of a mind shift, but check it out.  Sources are what you want for anything that doesn't "fit
