[Razzloss <razzloss@xxxxxxxxx>]

When I assigned this to myself I was going to just commit the search
regression fixes and call this one fixed as well. However I did some
tests over the weekend with something similar to this (patch attached).
Tested patch included some other changes (like swapping the guiFuncs
vector with a working copy to reduce the need for guiFuncs locks, which
reduce the need for _client functions to actually wait for the guiFuncs
lock. Though I don't know if that is significant as processGui doesn't
hold the lock that long. But that of course caused some lovely problems
with deleteEntry).

Anyway processing the gtk events once in a while in the processGui
thread helped to keep gui responsive with the cases where pending
guiFuncs vector gets too long (joining many large hubs (though don't
know if this is an issue still?), receiving search results ~10Mb/s). It
doesn't help when single function call takes too long (eg. regrouping
>10000 search results). The one thing I have no idea is if it is safe to
call gtk_main_iteration inside the gdk_threads_enter? I didn't manage to
deadlock it during testing, but that really doesn't tell anything.

Actually now that I think of it, probably some time based solution would
be better instead of the call count proposed in the patch.
