ok. I also have a function that is called from a normal gtk callback, as
well as other threads. This function calls gtk things, so it has
gtk_threads_enter()/gtk_threads_leave() in it.

When the function is called from the normal gtk callback, it gets blocked
on gtk_threads_enter(). Why? I have disabled all other threads.
