I have a hard time understanding this comment.  The mention of how it
fails makes me think "we'll never find out about failures anyway, so how
does it help to call this early?".

I suggest sticking to the point that this function must always be called
first:

  /*
   * g_main_context_push_thread_default() must be called before anything
   * in this new thread uses glib.
   */

Now people will think before moving this function call.
