The idle function will be called over and over.

I would use idle callbacks instead; it's a bit more elegant and more
correct when it's possible to do it that way.
The two while loops above are equivalent; the gtk_ one is the old way
to do it, and the g_main_ one is the new way to do it. The gtk_ one
just ends up doing the g_main_ one internally.
