g_timeout_add() is thread safe provided that, if any GDK/GTK+ functions are called in the callback, the GDK lock is acquired with gdk_threads_enter() before those calls are made. gtk_threads_add_timeout() avoids lock contention within the callback (it is entered with the lock already held), but I don't think that was the OP's problem.
