Well, I have added the g_idle_add() problem also.

When I move the mouse pointer the first time into the button widget,
animation works fine. But when I click on the button, animation stops
while idle function is active, which is 5 seconds. After that period
animation works fine again.

But when I move the pointer out of the window and back again, animation
is stopped and will not start again.

May that be a Wayland problem? I do not really think so, but I am not
really sure.
