Since you can select() on the serial port, you can avoid threads by
having a function called every time something interesting happens on
the file descriptor. The GLib mainloop has the functionality for this,
but I wouldn't suggest using the GIOChannel; I think they are way too
complex.

I normally use the code in

for that sort of thing.
