I dont understand why it would segfault and not just block indefinitly,
but I believe you should only be protecting gtk_main() with the threads
mutex, not gtk_init() as well. (the other functions that follow
gtk_init() dont really need protection since you havent spawned your
child thread until the last minute either - which btw - should
be done with the glib varient "g_thread_create()" - since IMO using
a mix of the low level threading api and the glib threading api
seems to be an invitation to disaster).

Cheers,
