Intercept the delete_event or modify the callback where you do the
gtk_main_quit() and insert there some thread sync code.

You should take care also when you add the rows to your Tree/ListStore if
you do that directly from the  thread that scans the db.

I suppose there is a thread since if there isn't one when you quit the main
loop nothing can crash it (except something you call after gtk_main()) :)
