Yes, the problem is there.

In fact, you can use Gtk.Application.Invoke everywhere. As you said,
he's already on the GTK's thread, so Gtk.Application.Invoke just
executes the code right away.
The problem, in fact, is that he is using Thread.Sleep in the GTK's
thread, so this blocks the UI. If this sleep is simulating some work
being done, it should be put on a different thread like this:
// UNTESTED
Thread worker = new Thread(delegate {
Thread.Sleep(1800 + 3600);
// We're on a different thread, Gtk.Application.Invoke is mandatory
Gtk.Application.Invoke(delegate {
button.Label = "End Hard Work";
});
});
worker.Start();
