I have encountered a strange error followed by a crash when I add the following 
object to a GtkTextView by creating a child anchor and call gtk_widget_show_all.

The object that is added

The object that is added to the child anchor is a GtkFrame inside which is a 
GtkTable and each cell of the table contains another GtkFrame each of which 
contains a GtkTextView.

The error

This works fine if it is all done from the main program. However, when I create 
the hierarchy described above in another thread and call gtk_widget_show_all on 
the GtkFrame that is added, I get an error in paint saying code should not be 
reached. Before this error, there is a warning that the iterator in text view 
has changed. I am not sure if the warning and error are related.

Source of the error

I replaced gtk_widget_show_all by gtk_widget_show in a loop going down the tree 
and calling it for each object. The source of the error was the gtk_widget_show 
on the leaf level view objects in the frames contained in each cell of the 
table.

Situations under which it works

When the leaf level GtkTextView objects are not part of the hierarchy of 
widgets I create or they are replaced by GtkEntry objects, everything works 
fine. Again, note that it also works fine if I do not have another thread and 
call everything from the main program on startup but I need to have another 
thread as this object will be created during the course of the program. I've 
tried both g_idle_add as well as using the gdk_threads_enter/leave pair.

Any help will be appreciated.
