(admitting in shame) every once in a while, even i forget how to
remove a timeout/idle etc. function from the main loop ("even",
since i do have my share in the main loop implementation). so
i think we should take this as a strong hint to put an apropriate
comment into the header file for g_source_remove() (yes, it's
in the docs, but usually, i consult the docs way later than the
*.c files, and i'm probably not the only person doing that).
