You are missing the point. You must use gdk_threads_enter() and
gdk_threads_leave() both (i) where you already have them in main(), and
(ii) also around gtk_widget_queue_draw() in the callback.
However, gdk_threads_init(), gdk_threads_enter() and gdk_threads_leave()
are deprecated in GTK+3, and only work with X11 (not on windows).
Instead, you should do what has been suggested and send an event from
the worker thread to the GTK+ main loop using g_idle_add(). Then you
do not need to bother with gdk_threads_init(), gdk_threads_enter() or
gdk_threads_leave() in your program at all. You will however need to
call g_thread_init() at the beginning of main() with glib < 2.32.
glib >= 2.32 is thread safe without g_thread_init() (which is a no-op).
