time consuming function/loop

[Yogesh M <yzonesoft yahoo com>]

One of the function take long time and blocks gtk_main. I dont want to put it in thread because it contains 
some part of the code which draws[drawing is not allowed in thread]. is there any way i can make user to 
interrupt the thread and break it.
