All of GLib is (or is supposed to be) thread safe in the sense that
internal data is properly locked if you call g_thread_init().
That _does not_ mean that the GLib data structures themselves are
automatically locked. (Which would be a big performance hit, and not
even possible for things like GList where the internals are directly
accessible without going through function calls to GLib.)
You can access hash table A from thread A and hash table B from thread
B and things will work fine. But if you want to access hash table A
from both threads, then you need to protect it with a mutex yourself.
