There are several FAQs about this:

And some others, read down a bit.

In my opinion, it's best not to do this, but instead to only call gtk
from your main thread. If you need to start a worker thread to perform
some time-consuming operation, use g_timeout_add() from the worker to
send messages to the main thread.
