Apologies to the thread. I keep forgetting to reply to all.
GTK is not thread safe. But if you code carefully your application
can be thread safe. You cannot access GTK/GDK from more than one
thread without proper multi-thread protection. I have no idea of the
internal workings of GTK but accessing from multiple threads without
protecting it results in unpredictable results.
Thanks,
Michael
