You mean something like the GLib or Qt main loop? ;-) You realize the
GLib loop isn't in any way tied to X or gtk. If you go back in CVS to
the oldest versions of metacity there's an example of gtk-less usage of
it with Xlib.

If you don't use a library main loop you have to write pretty much the
same thing yourself, a kind of select() multiplexer. There's a kind of
crappy one in dbus-mainloop.c in the dbus tree.
