Questions about dfb_events_dispatch in DGK DirectFB backend

["Carsten Behling" <behling c Eppendorf DE>]

I currently try to understand the directfb GDK backend code for event
handling.

Can anybody tell me why the dfb_events_io_func is used to call
dfb_events_dispatch ?

In the win32 backend and the old linux-fb backend there is the dispatch
function registered as follws:

static GSourceFuncs xxx_events_funcs = {
  xxx_events_prepare,
  xxx_events_check,
  xxx_events_dispatch,
  NULL
};

...

void 
_gdk_events_init (void)
{
  GSource *source;

  source = g_source_new (&xxx_events_funcs, sizeof (GSource));
  ...
  g_source_attach (source, NULL);
}

...

Why using the detour with g_io_channel_unix_new(...) ?

BTW, is the dfb_events_io_func correctly attached with
g_source_set_callback(..) in _gdk_events_init(..) ?
Should we use g_io_add_watch(...) instead ?
