Yes, you should never touch Evas from outside of the thread that
created it. The solution to your problem would be to synchronize your
Evas with another thread at some point. If you use Ecore main loop,
you can just create a pipe and use an Ecore fd handler
(ecore_main_fd_handler_add). When you have a result from your
computation thread, just write something to the pipe, this will start
the corresponding Ecore event at some point in the main loop, in which
you can touch your Edje/Evas objects.

Their is also another possibility with evas_async_events, but I don't
think it will be the best choice.
