what are you thinking? this has nothing to do with threads. it doesn't
even have a *lot* to do with language, except for the fact that you
can't use a non-static C++ member function as a C callback. if you
really want to use C++ objects with GTK widgets, then do this:

        class Foo {
            public:
               static gint my_c_proxy_for_bar (arglist...);
               gint my_handler_for_bar (otherarglist...);
        };

        gint
        Foo::my_c_proxy_for_bar (..., gptr user_data, ...) 
        {
            return reinterpret_cast<Foo*>(user_data)->my_handler_for_bar
(relevant_args...);
        }
        
        gint
        Foo::my_handler_for_bar (otherarglist...)
        {
        }

and then somewhere, connect

        gtk_signal_connect (widget, "signal", ...., SomePtrToFoo);

I have done this a lot with the GtkCanvas widget which has never been
wrapped for C++ (and never will be; we're migrating to GNOME::Canvas
ASAP)
