I don't think this could be a speed problem; consider that the idle
loop method was faster, and it should have more overhead/bottlenecks
than the threaded approach. Also, GTK certainly should not be
significantly slower than X, look at the implementation of GDK and
you'll see there's nothing there that would be slow.

I would guess there's just some structural problem, such as threads
getting stuck waiting for locks, or the like.
