Keep the select scheme for iohandlers and > slirp, but use g_main_context_iteration() for Glib stuff. Perhaps with two threads, but I think it's more complicated than merging the handle/fd sets and doing a single poll. For Windows you already have three/four separate polls and unifying some of them would improve responsiveness. Paolo
