What happens if timeout events take too long?

[Nils Rennebarth <nils ipe uni-stuttgart de>]

Before looking too deep into the source:

What if I
    gtk_timeout_add(100,lengthy_function,NULL)
but lengthy function takes say 200ms to execute? Will invocations be queued
up or just thrown away? Will other events still be processed?
