Thrown away essentially. There is no queuing of expired timers.

GdkEvents will be processed, since they have the same priority as
timeouts. But slowly (one event per timeout). Redrawing and resizing
of GTK+ widgets which occurs as idles with lower priority will not
happen.
(You can set up a timeout with a given priority using g_timeout_add_full;
if it is GTK_PRIORITY_DEFAULT_IDLE or lower (numerically bigger),
then redrawing and resizing will happen)
