Problem running the GTK main loop in a separate thread (different from the main one).

[Cristi Cobzarenco <cristi cobzarenco gmail com>]

Hi, I've been using GTK for a pretty long time but I've never used threads
with it and I'm not able to properly run the GTK main loop in a separate
thread.More to the point if I create a window, for example, in a thread
other than the GTK one, it becomes unresponsive. Other GTK calls (that don't
create widgets) seem to work fine, however.
I've attached a sample program to show what I mean, the flag "create_in_gt"
sets whether to create the widgets in the GTK thread or in the main one.

Is this normal behaviour, am I not supposed to do this, or is it a bug?
