The GTK main loop is just a particular, special instance of a glib event loop inside a GTK application. as a concrete example, one potential host for your plugins (Ardour), runs up to 5 glib events loops (for example, separate event loops handling events from asynchronous MIDI inputs from ipMIDI and from OSC). There is still only 1 GTK main loop in the application.
