Messages between threads ?

["Nils O." Selåsdal <noselasd frisurf no>]

I need to bas messages from one thread to another, which is running
a glib mainloop. The async queue seem almost fine, but I need to 
pass the messages in the main loop, since that thread is also waiting
for GIOChannels. 
Am I right that about the only way of doing that is pass the message
over e.g. a pipe, or pass a notification over a pipe that an item is
available from another thread ? Or is there some other clever way ?
