In glib v2.49.3, an optimization was made to eliminate certain
unnecessary wakeups. (The specific change was made in
e4ee3079c5afc3c1c3d2415f20c3e8605728f074). Before this change, the
first call to g_main_iteration would always complete immediately.
In Irssi, this effectively reversed the order of the main loop, causing
the reload_config check and the dirty_check to run *before* the first
blocking call to g_main_iteration.
With the new logic, the first g_main_iteration call now blocks,
preventing the screen from being refreshed until the user starts typing
or a timer goes off. (It also delays processing of SIGHUP, but I
expect that is not a common situation.)
This commit reorders the main loop to wait at the end of the loop,
rather than the beginning, addressing the problem.
(This closes Debian bug #856201.)
