It is not possible to randomly call Gtk+ function from
multiple threads.  Either queue all updates to be performed
in the main thread (i.e. the one running gtk_main()) for
instance via g_idle_add(), or add locking with
gdk_gthreads_enter(), gdk_gthreads_leave() -- and note the
latter will still not allow you to call Gtk+ function from
multiple threads on MS Windows.

For details, see the mailing list archives, this topic is
discussed twice a week.
