That is somewhat the opposite of the GIO interface, whose _async
functions return immediately.  A callback signals when the requested
operation is finished.  Thus the main thread is free to do its thing.
The callback is short, just collects results.  There is no need to run
the whole system, thread-switching, inside another mainloop's
_progress_handler... ick.
