Description David Zeuthen (not reading bugmail) 2011-07-08 14:08:03 UTC 
We should support naming threads, see

 http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/name-your-threads.html

It's useful not only in GLib itself (since we have e.g. a GDBus worker thread if you are using D-Bus) but also for apps with a need for more sophisticated logging than what g_log() can give you. Also, gdb nowadays extracts the name.
