Possible now:

 g_source_attach (source, g_main_context_get (other_thread));

[ The compat functions, g_io_add_watch, etc, always add to
  the default main context, not to the main context for
  the current thread ]

Possible now:

  source = g_io_create_watch (channel, condition);
  g_source_attach (source, context);

Not possible currently...
