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
