Well, as I said, don't do that.

No idea, and not really interested. Windows 98 might not be dead, but
it sure smells bad.

It doesn't. A program that just calls g_thread_init(NULL) and
gdk_threads_init() in main() does not hang. Your program must be doing
something else, too. I am not clairvoyant.

Attach a *complete* but *minimal* sample program to a bug report.
