I don't understand the potential consequences of this patch, so I can't
really judge if it's appropriate for the emacs-24 branch.  At least it
doesn't seem "obviously correct" to me: what if the user opens up an
X frame after starting "emacs -nw"?  Are we sure we never need the Glib
loop (IIRC nowadays Glib is used not just for Gtk but also for other
things, like maybe D-Bus?).
