the only tutorial needed is probably something like:
Q: Can I use GTK API from different threads?
A: No.
if you have a long-running operation in a thread, you need to schedule
UI updates in the same main context used by GTK — i.e. use
g_timeout_add(), g_idle_add(), or g_main_context_invoke() to schedule
a function call from your thread, and pass the data needed to update
the UI to that function.
