Perhaps you can explain why this patch makes it more responsive? There
might be other cleaner fixes to the problem.

Nope. This can't be done in the core since it assumes the use of the
GLib mainloop, which isn't a requirement for libpurple (this is the same
reason functions like g_idle_add etc. can't be used in the core).
