Removing global variables

[Alexandre Bique <bique alexandre gmail com>]

Hi,

I wonder if it would be possible to remove gtk's global variables?
I'd like to do something like:

GtkCtx *gtk_ctx = gtk_init(..);
GtkWindow *window = gtk_window_new(gtk_ctx, ...);
...
gtk_main_loop(gtk_ctx);

So in this way it would be possible to run many gtk main loop in
different threads but in the same process.

I need that for implement plugin's UI, like VST plugins.

An other idea I had was to extend elf format and the linker to be able
to load a "private" instance of the library which means that if load
it a second time, they will not share the global variables. What do
you think?

Thanks a lot,
