The main thread is the only one that is running inside the gtk_main loop.
The secondary thread is only reading files. So if I do a gtk_main_quit() the
secondary thread will be no longer running because I have not a gtk_main
loop, right?
If I'm right why I had to explicitly kill the other thread when it was
created with pthread instead of g_thread?

Threads are allowed to run whether there is a GMainLoop, gtk_main() or
whatever else running in any other thread; if you are running gtk_main()
from a created thread; gtk_main_quit will not kill its own thread.
