I don't know what you're doing and what you want to do asynchronously,
but gtk+ in itself is event driven (unless you do something in very
weird manner). DBus as used on the device can be used in asynchronous
ways for IPC. IIRC libcurl can do asynchronous for web stuff (although I
personally prefer libsoup due to it's nice integration with glib).

So yes, there definitely are ways to handle asynchronous events, for a
more detailed answer, you should reveal more of what you're planning to
do, the event source being the most important thing.
