 Should be perfectly doable, glib has support for integrating its event loop 
with something else (i.e. the other way around than it's in Qt now). For 
nspluginviewer I have an almost finished class that also handles glib event 
loop when instantiated. I could dig it up for you to use if you want, you'd 
just have to add the dlopen wrappers and do the necessary testing ;).
