I'm sorry, I can't recall that system very well at this point. "gmain" is the generic name used by any application using glib's g_get_worker_context() function to create worker threads. At this point I can't even recall if I booted that system with X11 / lightdm or if I had configured it to boot to multiuser only.
About the only thing I used that system for was tmux and irssi, neither of which are using the thread name 'gmain' in Xenial, so they were probably also not using the name in Saucy. So, it would have been supplied by 'standard' system software, not something I chose to run myself. My pandaboard es killed SD cards pretty quickly, I came away with the impression that SD cards are basically garbage not intended for 'real' system use: segfaults and bus faults were the common symptom, and this may have been a symptom of rubbish SD card too.
