The "Gtk Loop" is exactly the same as "the gstreamer loop", it's just a
g_main_loop_run() for the default main context.

You can also get at the messages without a main loop using
gst_bus_*pop*(), but if you are using a Gtk+ main loop, you may just as
well do what Peter suggested.

If you want to use bus *signals* (rather than the bus watch function)
you need to use gst_bus_add_signal_watch() instead.
