   The actual cause of the problem lies in your code, so no one can
give you any clue without looking at it. But the general solution is
that if you are making any gtk/gdk calls from more than one thread,
you should put some locks on those calls. One method of achieving that
that i use (and which I think is most-widely/standard one) is:

1. Inititialize the Gdk threads in the beginning of your program by
calling gdk_threads_init ().

2. Call gdk_threads_enter () before and gdk_threads_leave () after
each of the gtk/gdk calls you make in your threads.

   I don't think that will make any difference.
