Because Gtk+ is not threadsave you will have to update your progressbars
in the main thread. You could, for example, add the actions that have to
be performed in a GList and make the main thread update the progressbars
by checking out these values. There are more complex examples available
too. It is not recommended to update the position of the progressbar in
the threads that you created.

I suggest checking out E-mail clients like Balsa and Evolution which do
a very similar thing when getting the mails from the server. I don't
know how they technically created it ..

Check the sources of 
Evolution, Balsa, Galeon and Pan .. they are all multithreaded and all
use progressbars to indicate the status of a specific thread.
