Sure, you can even just run the GLib main loop "by hand" within a loop
while doing other stuff. See gtk_events_pending () for details.

There is also g_idle_add() and g_timeout_add() if it is not crucial to
execute the code at exact times (they launch their callbacks at "when
there is nothing else going on" and "no sooner than" respectively).
