Note that in some contexts it makes sense to run a nested mainloop from
a library if its safe to assume the app is already running a mainloop,
an example of this is gtk_dialog_run(), which will continue to process
events from the main context, but gtk_dialog_run() wont return until
the user has answered the dialog.
