    Thanks. Got it :)

   I'll go for #1 i think.

   Yep, in a software of mine that is for ATM machines. You mean to
ask why i am using both the GMainLoop and gtk_main* in the same
software, right? At one hand i dont want to bring in gtk+ (glib only)
into the card-reader interfacing module and OTOH i need nested main
loops inside the gui module, for which IMHO i'll need to do some more
labour if done using GMainLoop way. You may call it a "nessecity of my
laziness" :)
