g_sprintf() is the problem here, not grabbing the GDK lock (since this isn't a 
multithreaded program).

Is str a static buffer? How big is it? You may have overflowed the buffer when  
(gClient_rcv_data.gSensorData.sensor_value[i] / get_div(i)) gets too big.
Try the following code instead:

gchar *str = g_strdup_printf ("%d", (something / somethingElse));
gtk_entry_set_text (entry, str);
g_free (str);
