How about GAsyncQueue's?  They're supposed to be thread safe without the need of locking...  How about within 
a single thread?

Add a unix signal number in the signal handler, and suck it out again in a custom event source's prepare 
method.  The prepare method can return -1 for its timeout contribution, and true/false if there's something 
in the queue.
