I tried this same thing recently, and for the same reasons.  I eventually had one problem I could not quite 
figure out (albeit I have a few things left to try).  My problem was that my app was not processing all of 
the expose events to draw and redraw widgets properly.  If you get your app to work, let us know how.  It 
would prevent me from having to move all of my gtk calls to the main thread . . . Thanks.
