static gboolean
make_insensitive_idle_cb(gpointer data)
{
  GtkWidget *widget = GTK_WIDGET(data);

  gtk_widget_set_sensitive(widget, FALSE);

/* Return FALSE so as not to keep executing this function over and over
   again */
  return FALSE;
}

static gpointer
my_thread(gpointer data)
{
/* ... do something of long duration, during which ... */

g_idle_add(make_insensitive_idle_cb, some_widget);

/* ... do the rest of the long duration stuff ... */

return NULL;
}
