	 * There is a temptation to use g_main_depth() to solve

	 * and do nothing if g_main_depth() returns a value greater than 1.

	 * the menu item do nothing. Furthermore, you'll find yourself adding
	 * these checks all over your code, since there are doubtless many,
	 * many things that the user could do. Instead, you can use the
	 * following techniques:
	 *
	 * 1. Use gtk_widget_set_sensitive() or modal dialogs to prevent
	 * the user from interacting with elements while the main
	 * loop is recursing.
	 *
	 * 2. Avoid main loop recursion in situations where you can't handle
	 * arbitrary  callbacks. Instead, structure your code so that you
	 * simply return to the main loop and then get called again when
	 * there is more work to do.
