Make your main_loop() a static method of chat_app.

class chat_app ... {

   static gpointer main_loop(chat_app *o);


};

No. Read a bit about pointer to class members; comp.lang.c++.moderated 
is a good start. A pointer to a non-static class member is not a plain 
pointer; so a pointer to a non-static method can't be stored in a plain 
C function pointer.
