No matter, mainloop is started in gnomeapplet.bonobo_factory then. But
it should be protected in any case. 

But since it's all too complicated and multithreaded gui isn't that good
there is probably sense to access gtk only from a main thread and
schedule all actions from different threads on idle. This way work will
be much more stable.
