This was a rumor that Jon Nelson brought up, and I have yet to see proof
of it. I *think* your approach is safe, and that only the GTK thread
will be used for all GTK operations, no matter what (after all, it *is*
GTK who is driving the mainloop). 

I don't know anything about threads, though: "I did not say this.. I am
not here." (Guild Navigator in Dune)

Is this GTK 1.2 or 2.x?
