hehe... for those playing along at home, here's the entry from the  
Glib::MainLoop manpage:

       integer = Glib::Idle->add ($callback, $data=undef,  
$priority=G_PRIOR-
       ITY_DEFAULT_IDLE)

           o $callback (subroutine)
           o $data (scalar)
           o $priority (integer)

           Run $callback when the mainloop is idle.  If $callback  
returns
           false, it will uninstall itself, otherwise, it will run  
again at
           the next idle iteration.  Returns a source id which may be  
used
           with "Glib::Source->remove".


i notice that this doesn't mention what $priority is...  basically, a  
higher number is a lower priority.  the details are

Loop.html#G-PRIORITY-DEFAULT-IDLE-CAPS
