Right, if I decide to use GIO.

The other option is to re-implement all the things GIO is doing, which
is what I have been doing somehow (in a much crappier way), but
doesn't seem ideal anymore.

If I drop the GLib IO stuff I would need to properly wrap the IO
errors, and re-implement the buffering currently in msn-pecan (with
unit tests and everything).

I would do that if there is no other option, but I would prefer Adium
to support the GLib's main loop :)
