The use of threads is not necessary at all.

Register a callback to be ececuted every second to do the
cleanup.

callbackFunction( prtToUserData )
{
   /* do cleanup ... and keep i snappy! */
}

gtk_timeout_add( 1000, (GtkFunction) callbackFunction , ptrToUserData );

Take a look at the radar receiver interface at
http://www.microdata.se/swdemo.htm thar we have written.

It is possible to write snappy userinterface without using threads.
