  o Call gdk_treads_enter() before calling gtk_main(), not before
    calling gtk_init().
  o Call gdk_threads_enter() before creating and showing the dialog
    in the second thread; then call gdk_threads_leave() afterwords.
  o Read what the FAQ says about threads (http://www.gtk.org/faq/)
  o Always mention what is going wrong with your application, even
    an inline error message or a printout of your stack-trace is
    more usefull than "it doesnt work on windows".
