idleAdd

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

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

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

This internally creates a main loop source using g_idle_source_new() and attaches it to the global #GMainContext using g_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.
