I Worry
I phoned Camelot and they fobbed me off with some story that -6 is higher — not lower — than -8 but I'm not having it.
As much as I admire your determination Tina, I really do think that you should give in on this (from Manchester Evening News via Good Math, Bad Math).

Today's Hot Hack
Today I got fed up of writing yet another GQueue and idle function to perform tasks incrementally in the background, with all of the bookkeeping that needs to be done. So, I wrote taku_idle_queue_add.
Using it is simple, create a GQueue and then call taku_idle_queue_add, passing the queue and a callback function. When the queue has items in it, the callback gets called. Easy! Just remember not to return FALSE from the callback unless you are sure the queue will never be used again.
I'd appreciate anyone who knows GSource programming in detail to review the code. Maybe I should even try and get this into Glib?
