It's pointless calling gdk_threads_enter()/leave() in windows because it won't work. It's also unnecessary in your use because the callback for g_idle_add() executes in the GTK+ main loop and not in the calling thread - which is fine, and works well. So your approach is correct, except as regards the need to call gdk_threads_enter()/leave().
