I don't think this is what you want. gtk is already threaded. By doing things in the gtk mainloop, you are using their threading. You are asking for a world of pain if you try and mix in python threading unless you really know what you are doing. The point of the example is that you don't need to use python threads. All your printing and figure updating can be done in function calls activated by the gtk loop.
