I'm not used to GUI programs, but the fact that they "usually [...] are 
event loop based" does not mean it is the best solution :-) Lua provides 
an interesting tool that do not exist natively in C (the coroutines), 
and that can, in my opinion, help make programs easier to write and 
easier to read. Maybe its a bad idea, but until now, it works fine for 
me, excepted this callback problem. I've solved the problem by creating 
a small module that allows to execute, from a coroutine, a function in 
the main thread. It helps to keep the main thread code independant from 
the coroutine code. My application works fine now, thanks for the help.
