Blocking?  If I'm understanding you right, you can do that by 
making a secondary call to gtk_main() -- then call gtk_main_quit() 
when you're good and ready.  The function that calls gtk_main() 
will not return till gtk_main_quit() is called.

If you want to prevent user interation in the meantime you'll also 
have to make the dialog-like window modal, though that is a 
separate issue.
