I think I know what the problem is here. Some parts of gnome-libs are
not thread safe (including this bit). It is generally pretty easy to
get code to work with gtk's threading/locking model, but I guess this
code is broken. By default, stable pygtk will enable threading support.
You can disable threading support for your program with the following
call (which should be made fairly early in your program, and definitely
before the main loop is run):
import gtk
gtk._disable_gdk_threading()
