I'm no expert but I remember having banged my head against the wall on
this one some time ago. I ended up making the thread set up a idle
callback and running the gnome dialog in that callback. Maybe not the best
solution but works for me anyway... Mind you I only use an OK dialog, no
need to get any feedback from the user.

You will of course have to do the usual gdk_threads_enter/leave stuff in
the callback as idle callbacks are not inside the global lock (or
whatever...).
