You can't, although it is relatively trivial to make your own wrapper
for g_idle_add_full() and g_timeout_add_full(), both of which are
thread safe, using boost::function and/or boost::signal2 if you so want.

But I think this is a red herring, since you do not (you say) allow
more than one thread to get into any of your application functions. You
have a much simpler null pointer issue by the looks of it.
