g_idle_add() uses G_PRIORITY_DEFAULT_IDLE priority. Most of the time we don't
care much about the priority.
But at the places that this patch changes, I think that using
G_PRIORITY_DEFAULT_IDLE (and following g_idle_add()) is more correct. The
reason for this is not very strong, except that it's probably the better
choice. And the old choice was made because I didn't realize that
g_idle_add() uses another default priority. Hence, the old choice was not
for good reasons either.
We use clang-format for automatic formatting of our source files.
Since clang-format is actively maintained software, the actual
formatting depends on the used version of clang-format. That is
unfortunate and painful, but really unavoidable unless clang-format
would be strictly bug-compatible.
So the version that we must use is from the current Fedora release, which
is also tested by our gitlab-ci. Previously, we were using Fedora 34 with
clang-tools-extra-12.0.1-1.fc34.x86_64.
As Fedora 35 comes along, we need to update our formatting as Fedora 35
comes with version "13.0.0~rc1-1.fc35".
An alternative would be to freeze on version 12, but that has different
problems (like, it's cumbersome to rebuild clang 12 on Fedora 35 and it
would be cumbersome for our developers which are on Fedora 35 to use a
clang that they cannot easily install).
The (differently painful) solution is to reformat from time to time, as we
switch to a new Fedora (and thus clang) version.
Usually we would expect that such a reformatting brings minor changes.
But this time, the changes are huge. That is mentioned in the release
notes [1] as
