Each time you update the progress bar, regardless for completion
or activity you need to have:

while(gtk_events_pending() > 0)
 gtk_main_itteration();

Warning, this may cause some reentering, so make sure yer code
checks for that.

Other way is to leave control and return to the highest gtk_main
and then have your progress updating function update the progress
bar for one cycle and repeat.
