Glib::Dispatcher doesn't use idle signals.  It uses a pipe to communicate 
between threads.  It is specific to glibmm (it does not have an equivalent in 
glib), but you can easily make your own with a pipe and a GIOChannel object.  
If you have a problem with Glib::Dispatcher, it is almost certainly a coding 
error in your code and not a problem with either glibmm or your "system".
