hopefully by "toolkits" we can eventually mean "any toolkit that seriously 
targets UNIX/Linux"

obviously. which is why if you read one of my other posts in this thread 
you'll see i spent some time yesterday looking at what it would take to 
excise the glib event loop from glib itself to end up with something more 
appropriate from that angle. it's not the only approach, however, of course, 
but it's hard to know what the options are without looking at what is out 
there right now.
