They don't belong into VisualGST and they are useful to write GTK
applications. E.g. I plan to add some event looper helper to GTKTools.

This way multiple GTKTools users can make sure that there is exactly
one event loop running. E.g. for a visual Object>>#inspect implementation.

Do you know why you don't like this very much? E.g. is this something
that you would think is obsolete if we move forward with gir?
