They do, because we don't call the idle function anymore in some isolated
operations (keylist I think).  The issue here is backward compatibility with
multi threaded programs where we didn't specify before if the idle function
is called synchronized or not.

But as we now have the new I/O callback interface, we should deprecate the
idle function anyway, and let users do it properly.  For this it must work,
of course, so I will take a look at it and try to make a GTK+ example.

Thanks,
Marcus
