I believe that you are correct in that it is not in the FAQ.

I did notice you giving this same advice to someone in a thread earlier this year (February or March), but 
you did not say where to put the call.  In my testing, I put the flush call _after_ gdk_threads_leave, which, 
of course, would not help any (assuming this is my problem), and it didn't.  I'll give it a shot and report 
back.  Thanks.
