Hmmm... the main loop I use for ILU never calls gtk_main()
at all. (It has its own gtk_main() where gtk_main_quit() indicates
the level). gtk-doom probably never touches gtk_main() at all
either. 

So you should at least provide an alternate method to exit out
of GLE, if people want to use it for such programs. (And
a way of disabling the quit_add(), if somebody wants to 
pop up a dialog and call gtk_main() in their doom-equivalent)

As long as the check is pretty fast though, there shouldn't
be any harm in having the callbacks there.
