Thanks Tassos,

It seems to help.
I use the set_priority method to my IOSource. It's better, but not 
perfect. At least I can move my window when data arrive, but it's still 
responding very slowly. The doc is pretty poor about this method. Which 
value should I use to select the lowest possible priority ? It seems 
that a high value corresponds to a low priority.
Thanks a lot for your quick answer anyway.

written for Unix-like environments; take the rest with a pinch of salt)

When connecting IO Sources to the main loop, a priority parameter (with
a default value higher than the redraw handler) is specified. Use that
to specify a lower priority on the IOSource.
