Hey Tristan and all,
                               I found a work-around this problem and it is
working pretty well :)
As we can have only one method (typically main) calling and painting the
gui, I left the Gtk::Main::run()
in the main. However, I dynamically change the Glib::RefPtr based on the
spoken command which runs in a different
thread ahead of the run. As you speak, the interface gets updated
accordingly.

I have tested it for quite some time now, and it is yet to break.
Hope this helps for any of you now or in the future.

Thanks.

Regards,
B

PS: Thanks Tristan, it was your suggested url that helped me find a way out
in the end.
