Hi Michael,

Do you mean g_main_context_iteration ?
It's used both in the real code and unit test.

      It shouldn't be used in the real code - we should integrate with the
glib mainloop that is plugged into VCL :-)

AFAIK we do that for real code (if things didn't change).

From what I understood, it's how telepathy framework works and it
can't be avoided.

      The problem is a careless use of an iteration; if we ran the mainloop
until an asynchronous callback quit it - that would be -much- less of a
problem :-)

And we do that :-)

The root problem is trying to 2nd guess how many main-loop
iterations to call - which is non documented, non deterministic and
guarenteed to change between minor releases :-)

And we don't do it ;-)

    while (!pImpl->mbAccountManagerReadyHandlerInvoked)
            g_main_context_iteration( NULL, TRUE);

spins the main loop until the callback set
mbAccountManagerReadyHandlerInvoked=true
