Calling g_idle_add_full() with a priority of G_PRIORITY_DEFAULT would
have the same effect as a call to g_timeout_add() with a period of 0.
If you wanted the callback to be at the top of the queue of waiting
events in the main loop then use G_PRIORITY_HIGH - but you are then
going to put yourself above some rendering and display operations that
you may want done.

All g_idle_* callbacks execute through the event loop.
