GTK deadlock in gtk_main

["Tomas Soltys" <tomas soltys range-software com>]

Hi all,

I am not sure if this is a bug or just my misunderstanding of how the
synchronization is done in GTK.

Below is a simple "test.c" example in which the deadlock occurs.

Basically program deadlocks itself when "idle_func" is done and control is
returned to "gtk_main".

Thanks for your help in advance,
Tomas
