This also applies to g_timeout_add btw. It's default priority is G_PRIORITY_DEFAULT

If redrawing is more important, then why is this not a Gtk bug instead? When I am picking a priority, the one designated as "DEFAULT" by the maintainers sounds pretty good to me... Why question it?

@gkiagia because GTK does not control the defaults: those are in GLib, and GLib has no idea about GTK priorities
