Kind Sir,
Is it possible that I should be using the GTK Animation features to
display successive iterations of the cellular automata?

Making a GTK+ instance global alone seems unable to solve the problem:
what you need is to stop manipulating it from threads that didn't
initialise GTK+ / aren't running the GLib/GTK+ main loop.
Not that I immediately have a ready-made alternative, but the
architecture you described seems somewhat less than ideal to me. I
would personally try for a model/view architecture, i.e. have whatever
thread you want calculating the next frame of the cell grid, then
sending a signal to the GUI thread when it is done and the GUI should
update to reflect the new data. Alternatively, have GTK+ periodically
check whether a new frame is ready and, if so, update from the world data.
