Hi :)
When you create main loop with NULL as context parameter, main loop gets 
shared default context. Before you create your main loop, default 
context was populated with functions from gtk/gdk.

The blocker is gdk_event_prepare (it just locks the global mutex), GLib 
code call it because the event source is not removed by gtk_main_quit.

You may:
1. Create separate context (this looks like the best solution).
2. Use gdk_threads_leave() before your g_main_loop_run() call.

Are you really need to use smth like that in your code ?
