create the thread to parse the xml but instead of updateing
the clist do a g_io_channel_write* and add a watch on your channel
in your main thread. in your callback in the main thread:
update the clist.

PS:
it might be prudent to use g_thread_create/g_thread_init
seeing as it offers alot of usefull stuff like
g_mutex_* g_condition_* etc...
