How to create precise timeouts?

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

From reading the description of g_timeout_add, it seems that if I
call
    g_timeout_add(100,function,NULL)
and function itself takes 80ms to complete, this will end up in function
being started every 180ms. Is this right?

What I want is to have it beeing called about every 100ms, maybe 10ms
earlier or later but 10 times a second in the average. How do I do this
(short of resorting to the setitimer system call)?
