You need to combine the event loops. Gtk+ uses the GLib event loop,
while Motif uses the Xt event loop.

The way I would go about this would be to use g_source_new to create a
GSource for the Xt mainloop (XtAppPeekEvent, XtAppDispatchEvent etc.),
then bind it into the GLib mainloop with g_source_attach. You would then
use g_main_loop_run() instead of XtAppMainLoop().
