gdk-threads questions(contd)

hi,

I have found the following article which explain Xlib
error. But how to solve this problem?

http://www.faqs.org/faqs/x-faq/part7/section-15.html

"You'll typically get these errors if you are writing
a multi-threaded
application and are making X calls from more than one
thread -- one of the
more common new ways to introduce memory corruption
into Xlib (using bogus
pointers is another, as is mixing up XFree/XtFree/free
calls. Even an
operation as simple as XSendEvent can't be called from
a second thread.).
Prior to X11R6, X doesn't support multi-threading;
check the X11R6
documentation for how to write a threaded application
safely with X11R6 and
later versions of X (including being sure to enable
Xlib's multi-thread
support).

Common widget sets are also unsafe to use except from
within one thread.  The
versions of Motif from OSF, for example, offer no
support for
multi-threading."
