Ok, g_idle_add() seems to need protection by gdk_threads_enter() and
leave().
Ref:
http://developer.gnome.org/gdk/stable/gdk-Threads.html#gdk-threads-add-idle

gdk_threads_add_idle<http://developer.gnome.org/gdk/stable/gdk-Threads.html#gdk-threads-add-idle>()
can do without. Anyway, an interesting suggestion to use the main-loop to
run a job-function or "thread". This "thread" have to compete with other
events like GUI-updates and key strokes.

David:
Ok. GRegex is not an gobject, even its call-syntax is very gobject-like. Eg:
xxx_new()
xxx_ref()
xxx_unref()

And the documentation of GRegex talks about
GRegex<http://developer.gnome.org/glib/stable/glib-Perl-compatible-regular-expressions.html#GRegex>
*object* all the way.
I think that POD must mean Plain Old Data that looks like an object.

The word *struct* and *class* in C++ are very much interchangeable. So
instance of a C struct can be seen as an object.

Anyway, thanks for help folk.
