You can do:
g_timeout_add(<milliseconds>, function, user_data);
or
g_idle_add(function, user_data);
to get regularily back to your code. Note that function should return
TRUE to get called again (and again).

But neither of these is really a good solution. When working with glib,
you should use it's scheduler for things to go smooth.
