    Avoid glibmm GSource bug/crash (#697727) · c36934ac
    Phillip Susi authored and Curtis Gedak's avatar Curtis Gedak committed
    The glibmm GSource wrappers have a bug where they do not do
    reference counting properly, and have a race condition where
    the background thread can try to touch the source after the
    main thread has already processed and destroyed it.  This
    results in writes to freed memory and sometimes this causes
    crashes or other erratic behavior.  Avoid using the glibmm
    wrappers and use glib directly.  See bug #561885 for details
    of the glibmm bug.
