  In PyGObject it is virtually impossible to guarantee that
g_thread_init() gets called before using some other GLib APIs.  At least
not without changing the API.  That's because g_thread_init() is called
by the python function gobject.threads_init(), but you obviously can't
call gobject.threads_init() without importing gobject first, and of
course "import gobject" already calls some GLib APIs...  This is a very
tricky problem :|
