Urrgh. Don't do that. :-( The "traditional" method to accomplish what you are trying to do here is to have one thread which is solely respnosible for updating the gui and calling gtk_main_iteration(), etc. The other threads will set shared variables which will be read by the "gui" thread and used to update the visual portions of the output. So, for example, your network reading thread could update a "bytes read" variable and periodically your gui thread would read that variable and use it to update a progress bar or whatever.
