The problem is that if I am reading the code I will see a zero.  Then
I have to go to the header file to find the prototype for that
function.  Then I have to figure out what a priority of zero means, by
looking at other code or trying to see if there are some constants.

Replacing it with G_PRIORITY_DEFAULT means I will see that

	a) the parameter specifies a priority

	b) it is indeed the default priority

by just glancing at the code.  I don't have to look at header files or
other code then, and it is obvious what it does.
