I'm giving up.  If you showed the code, then may be I could find the problem,
but not this way...  By the way, you probably don't need gdk_threads_enter()
and gdk_threads_leave() in time out callbacks.  Those are only needed when
multiple threads use GTK+ GUI, but time out callbacks run in the same thread
as the main event dispatching loop.
