You typically dont need to create one ever - unless you want
to run a GMainLoop in a seperate thread - you'd need a context
for that thread.

I thought that a GMainContext would keep the "main loop code".... a data structure holding pointers to the functions or something... I guess these can be include g_source_add or g_timeout_add as I am currently doing... which yes they wouldnt be passed if a GMainLoop was running into another thread... Thanks again for your reply.
