idleAdd

Adds a function to be called whenever there are no higher priority events pending.

If the function returns glib.types.SOURCE_REMOVE or false it is automatically removed from the list of event sources and will not be called again.

See memory management of sources for details on how to handle the return value and memory management of data.

This internally creates a main loop source using glib.global.idleSourceNew and attaches it to the global #GMainContext using glib.source.Source.attach, so the callback will be invoked in whichever thread is running that main context. You can do these steps manually if you need greater control or to use a custom main context.
