sorry, this was about a pipe. but the problem is solved by setting
G_IO_FLAG_NONBLOCK flag on a channel, now g_io_channel_write_chars returns
with G_IO_STATUS_AGAIN when the channel is full and cannot be written.

anyway, g_io_channel_get_buffer_condition always returns 0, so I don't use
it anymore.
