You want to use a semaphore. After AppendAvalues you signal. In place
of Thread.Sleep you wait on that signal. Something vaguely like
Semaphore semaphore = new Semaphore(0, 1);
while (Messages.Count > 0) {
msg = (Message) Messages.Dequeue();
send(msg);
Gtk.Application.Invoke(delegate {
treeStore.AppendAvalues(msg.To, msg.Text);
semaphore.Release(1);
});
semaphore.WaitOne();
}
