Since you call g_thread_init(), g_source_attach() is thread safe so that is fine. However, to get the GSource objects to clean up when they are finished with you need to call g_source_unref() after g_source_attach() (g_source_attach() increments the reference count). The main loop has a mutex protecting it when sources are added or removed or callbacks are read for dispatch. That might block momentarily if there is contention but nothing that you would notice.
