You may want to check the Narval Project and the Horn gui (I know, this is
shameless advertising, but he asked for it ;o)

We use a Queue object for communication between the threads. The main
(non-gui) application is Narval, and when it knows a gui (Horn) is
connected, it sends messages in a Queue. The queue is read every 500ms
using a gtk timeout, and depending on what's found in the queue, the gui
is updated.
