Humph,
    That should all work seemlessly, is it possible that your main
thread (the one running the GMainLoop) is blocking on a mutex ?
Did you not g_thread_init() ?

If you have an older version of gtk+, you *may* need to insert this line:
`g_main_context_wakeup(NULL);' after `g_timeout_add()' (but it should
do that by default).
