Do you mean events or signals? (See
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/GGAD/ it explains the difference
somewhere in there.)

Signals are synchronous, they can never be pending, though they can be
emitted recursively so more than one can be in the process of being
emitted.

Events are in a queue, which you can scan with
gdk_event_get()/gdk_event_peek() etc., but this is a low-level thing
to do and to do something non-broken with it you'll need to understand
GTK+ in some detail.
