Description Pouria Mellati 2013-01-22 11:44:21 UTC 
Based on the documentation in

http://developer.gnome.org/gdk/2.22/gdk-Threads.html#gdk-threads-add-idle

function gdk_threads_add_idle() should take only two parameters, namely a function to execute later, and some data to be passed to the first argument (when the first arg is called).

However, having imported Gdk form gi.repository, calling Gdk.threads_add_idle() with the aforementioned args, returns with an error, stating that actually three parameters are needed.

Sorry, this is indeed a bit confusing. gdk_threads_add_idle() itself is not introspectable as this function does not have a GDestroyNotify. For that reason, Gdk got a new methods gdk_threads_add_idle_full() which is renamed to threads_add_idle() in introspected languages. So you need to pass (priority, function, data).
