After trying this myself (for unrelated reasons), i found that *only*

If you are not using a main loop (and GSource), then this doesn't happen, and
the events you feed to g_poll() are completely inert.

This is true on all platforms. The "responsiveness" of all GSources depends on a main loop that polls/selects/does-some-platform-equivalent-of-wait-for-something.
