Incidentally, one of the things I've been leaning towards adding in 4.0
is a Glib.init(). There isn't such a thing in as g_init() of course
(although one DOES have to call g_type_init() if using gobject et al and
even though gtk_init() does that for you I'm doing it explicitly much
earlier in the execution path) but for the case where you're not
actually using GTK it is a but strange to have to fire it up in your
code.

And the main loop is a GLib construct, after all.

So maybe we'll expose a GLib.main() but block its use if Gtk.init() /
Gtk.main() have been used.

The other possibility is to do it on library load automatically. Still
fiddling. I'll write an email to -hackers when something concrete
precipitates out.
