If you are asking whether there is a distinction between different
event sources, then yes, self-evidently the various sources poll
different things. Beyond that, it is only a matter of the default
priority in the event queue, but g_timeout_add_full(),
g_io_add_watch_full() and g_child_watch_full(), as with
g_idle_add_full(), allow you to choose whatever priority you want.

"g_idle_add" is a pretty silly choice of name, I would agree, if that
is also what you are implying.
