That is insufficient. The gtk main loop has more input sources than just the connection to X: - timers - idle handlers - child handlers - additional file descriptors - a generalzed 'event source'
When gtk is not the central event mechanism, there's no need to use the gtk event loop for these things -- you can just use the central event mechanism directly.
The pygtk APIs for setting these up can redirect them to the appropriate place, to accommodate existing code that uses the gtk event loop for them.
