It was put in to help find code paths that result in calls to Gtk from sub-threads, which are verboten. It 
hasn't found any in years, so it can presumably be dumped. And since gdk_threads_{enter,leave} have been 
disabled for the same length of time, we could clean up the code by also deleting all mentions of them, 
instead of defining them away.
